Ultimate Scones
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup dried currants
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
1
Acquire all the necessary components. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with a non-stick coating.
2
Prepare the scone mixture: Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to break down the butter into small pieces until it resembles coarse crumbs. Intermix in currants.
3
Blend milk and sour cream together in a measuring cup; gently fold into the flour mixture until it reaches a moist consistency, taking care not to overmix.
4
Form dough balls: Using your hands dusted with flour, shape the mixture into 2- to 3-inch diameter balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, allowing them to touch each other slightly.
5
Create an egg wash: Whisk egg and milk together. Brush the tops of scones with this egg wash, allowing them to sit for about 10 minutes.
6
Bake the scones: Place them in the preheated oven and bake until the tops are golden brown, taking around 10 to 15 minutes.
