Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut butter into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Stir in 1 egg, currants or raisins if desired, and enough half and half so dough leaves the sides of the bowl.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 10 times.
Roll 1/2 inch thick; cut with round or heart shaped cutters.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet; brush with beaten egg.
Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove immediately.
Split scones and serve with butter, lemon curd, jams or jellies.
