Ingredients

  • teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
  • 0.3 teaspoon baking soda 
  • tablespoons butter unsalted frozen
  • 0.5 cup currants dried (or currants)
  • large eggs 
  • cups flour all-purpose
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 cup cream sour
  • 0.3 cup sugar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • knife
  • whisk
  • box grater

Directions

  1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
  4. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
  5. Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick.
  6. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
