Quick Currant Scones Recipe

  • 2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 10 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup currants
  1. Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles oatmeal. Transfer to a bowl.

  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
  4. Unwrap dough and cut into 8 wedges. Arrange wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
