Currant and Raisin Scones Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ÂºF. Grease a large baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients; then cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Blend the egg yolks with the buttermilk; then add this to the dry ingredients. Stir in the raisins, currants, and nuts.
Knead the dough lightly on a floured board until it is smooth. Divide the dough in half and make two 6" circles. Cut each circle into 6 wedges; then place the wedges onto the greased baking sheet.
In a small bowl, add the egg white and water and whisk until frothy. Brush each wedge with the egg white mixture.
Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until the scones are light golden brown.
