    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • 🧂 ⅛ teaspoon salt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet.

2

Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fingers until pea-sized lumps form. Stir in currants.

3

Whisk milk and sour cream together, then gently stir into the dry mixture until dough is moistened. Avoid overworking.

4

With floured hands, form dough into 2 to 3-inch diameter balls. Place onto greased baking sheet and flatten slightly, ensuring scones are slightly touching.

5

Whisk egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush over scones and let rest for approximately 10 minutes.
