- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold butter
- 1/2 cup currants
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- juice of one lemon

In a medium to large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in currants, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat egg with half & half and add to dry ingredients, stirring until blended. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a large circle, 3/4 to 1 inch in thickness. Cut into 8 to 10 wedges (depending on desired size) and place on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush scones with a beaten egg or egg-milk mixture for a nice finish and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
