1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup currants
4 tbsp butter

Yield: 10 to 12 scones.
Mix the dry ingredients together. Cut in the butter using two knives. Add the milk and beaten egg. Mix together with a fork. Dough will be thick. Drop large, tall dollops of dough (scones will spread when baking) onto lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 15-17 minutes.
