Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until it is in pea sized lumps. Stir in the currants. Mix together 1/2 cup milk and sour cream in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until well blended. Overworking the dough results in terrible scones!
- With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2 to 3 inches across, depending on what size you want. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and flatten lightly. Let the scones barely touch each other. Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown, not deep brown. Break each scone apart, or slice in half. Serve with butter or clotted cream and a selection of jams - or even plain.

THE BEST SCONES
The extra-rich taste of our cream scones comes from using milk powder in addition to the standard ingredients butter and cream. A light touch when combining the dough ensures a tender crumb.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the cream, egg and milk powder in a liquid measuring cup. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse only until pea-size pieces remain. Transfer to a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and mix with a fork, incorporating the dry ingredients a little at a time until a shaggy dough forms (it's okay if the dough looks a little dry, just don't overwork it). Lightly knead the dough in the bowl until it just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 by 7 inches). Cut in half lengthwise, then cut in half again crosswise; you should have 4 equal rectangles. Cut each piece in half from corner to corner making 8 triangular wedges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Bake the scones until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 more minutes. Serve warm with softened butter and jam.
GRANDMA'S BUTTERMILK SCONES
My grandmother will be 96 this year, she was born in Banffshire, Scotland in 1915. She lived on her own, in her house until she was 92 and it was only because of her failing eyesight that she had to move into a senior's lodge. Her health is amazing but unable to keep her mind active like she used to, she is struggling with memory issues. She is my hero. In honour of her and to preserve the few recipes I have from her, I've decided to share them here. Prep & cooking times are approx as it's been awhile since I've made these. These scones are so yummy, best served warm and with real butter, maybe some marmalade, a slice of sharp cheddar or whatever your pleasure. From when I was a wee lassie until she moved she always had a batch ready when I visited. Please use real, fresh buttermilk for this recipe, substitutions will not do it justice :). Enjoy!! NB:I'm planning to try whole wheat, I'll post my results then :) If you beat me to it I'd love to hear the results.

Steps:
- Sift together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
- Mix melted butter and enough buttermilk in a measuring cup to make 2 cups of liquid, dissolve baking soda in the liquid.
- Slowly work the liquid into the dry ingredients until a nice dough forms (you may not need all the milk so do this in stages). The dough should be easily handled and not sticky.
- Divide dough in half and shape into a round ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/2" thick round and cut into pie shaped wedges (a pizza cutter works good for this).
- Fry in a dry electric pan at 350°F (no butter/pam/oil please) until a nice golden brown.
- Flip and brown other side.
- Serve warm. (Can be reheated in a toaster).
- Alternatively, you can roll the doll out and use a glass to cut rounds. Grandma did that sometimes too (while I snuck behind and stole the scraps before she could roll them out again lol).

GRANDMA'S SCOTTISH SCONES
I asked my grandma what made these scones so Scottish, she laughed and said, "that's what my mother called them." I have no clue how Scottish these scones are but they are delicious. In my house, I have to make a double batch, they go so fast.

GRANDMA NOON'S SCOTTISH SCONES
This traditional recipe was brought to North America by my Great Grandmother Noon. We love it; it's rich and crumbly, the perfect accompaniment for afternoon tea. It's a real Scottish type of scone-- it's a bit sweet and dense. I suppose you could add raisins to it-- but Grandma Noon might come back and haunt you...
