Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 c Flour
1/3 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
2 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted
Butter
1 c Buttermilk
1/2 c Currants (optional)
1 tb Heavy cream, for brushing

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking
powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Add butter and mix with your
fingertips to a coarse meal. Add buttermilk and mix just until
combined. Add currants, if desired. Transfer dough to a floured board
and divide into 2 parts. Roll each to 3/4 inch thick rounds. Cut
each round into 8 wedges and place slightly separated on a greased
baking sheet. Brush the tops with the cream, and bake for 15 minutes,
or until lightly browned. Serve warm, split in half with butter and
marmalade.

Yield: 16 scones
