Recipe: Melt-In-Your-Mouth Currant Scones

This morning a colleague was complaining to me how difficult it is to find a good scone. I thought for a moment… Ah! For me it is easy. I find them at home! Matt, my wonderful husband, makes these tasty goodies and they are like no other scone you’ve ever had. Yum!

Matt’s Melt-In-Your-Mouth Currant Scones

Ingredients.

1 1/3 C All-purpose flour
1/3 C Sugar
1/2 t Salt
1 T Baking powder
6 T Chilled butter
1/3 C Currants
1/2 C Cream
1 egg

Steps.

1. Preheat oven to 400F.

2. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.

3. Cut butter into the dry ingredients.

4. Add currants.

5. Lightly beat cream and egg together and add to dry ingredients.

6. Form dough into a ball.

7. Roll and cut into desired shape (we cut them into triangles).

8. Lay on an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

I used to make a recipe pretty similar to this one. It is yummy. My currant favorite (no pun intended) is in the _Alice Bay cookbook_ by Julie Wilkinson Rousseau. It calls for buttermilk, no egg. When I want to get really local and homemade, I use the butter I make and the buttermilk left over from making the butter.

Hmm, making them thinner like that probably makes them much better than the thick ones I get in the cafeteria. I don’t see why anyone would want a two inch thick scone, they are so hard to cook that way too…

I, like your colleague, have had an impossible time finding a good scone recipe. I am looking forward to trying this one. Thanks Melinda!

Thank goodness there is an egg in the recipe: we just got our baby chicks! 4 buff orpington and 4 black cochin. It was worth the 6 months of trying to coerce the hubby to let us get them! I will try to get some pics for you to post.
Thank you for the information you and the other bloggers have given us to get us started.

These scones are delicious! You were right. I prefer my scones a little sweeter (sweetened whipped cream would suffice), but Chris loves them! Thanks for posting a good scone recipe. Finally, I can end my quest!
