Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and salt.
• Cut butter into small pieces; work into flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry cutter until dough resembles coarse meal. Add currants, caraway seeds, and buttermilk; stir until just combined.
• Scoop 1/3 cup-size mounds of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 3 inches apart. Bake until bottoms are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet.
• Meanwhile, combine confectioners' sugar, milk, and orange zest. Drizzle over scones; serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325. Coat a baking sheet w/ cooking spray. In microwave-safe bowl, microwave raisins in 1 cup water on high until hot, 1-2 mins. Let stand about 10 min, drain.

Brush tops w/ reamining butter. Bake 20 min, or until golden. Sprinkle tops w/ remaining cheese during the last 5 mins of cook time.
