This scone recipe is quick to make using a food processor and they are every bit as good as fancy bakery scones. You'll love them with tea! Variations: dried cranberries, blueberries, or raisins can be substituted for currants.

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 10 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup currants

Cooking Directions

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.
2. Stir cream into flour mixture until just combined. Fold currants into dough. Transfer dough to a sheet of plastic wrap; fold to completely cover dough. Shape dough into a 1-inch thick disk and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
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.
