Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup currants
1 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 egg, beaten
4 to 6 tablespoons half-and-half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Soak currants in enough warm water to cover 10 minutes to soften; drain.
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in orange peel, egg, currants and just enough half-and-half until dough leaves side of bowl.

I thought these scones were just okay. They were a bit dry and dense, and the orange and currant flavors were not very strong. I would not make these scones again.

These scones were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the orange and currant flavors were barely noticeable. I would not make these scones again.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The orange and currant flavors were very nice, and the scones were light and fluffy. I would make these scones again, but I would use less sugar next time.
