makes 8 scones
Approximate preparation time: 10 minutes plus
30 minutes for baking
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with
parchment paper.
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large
work bowl of the Cuisinart
® Food Processor. Add the
flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder
and salt and process for 15 seconds to combine. Add
the butter and pulse to incorporate, about 8 pulses,
until the butter pieces are about the size of peas. Stir
the buttermilk, vanilla and egg together in a liquid
measuring cup. With the machine running on the dough
speed, slowly add the liquids through the feed tube
until just combined; be very careful not to overmix. Add
the currants and pulse until just combined, 2 to 3 pulses.
Pour dough onto a clean surface. Form into a long, flat
rectangle and cut into 8 triangles. Place the scones,
evenly spaced, on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with
heavy cream and sprinkle with reserved sugar.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until baked through and
golden.
