Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375*. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Sift.Use your pastry blender and add the cold butter until the consistency is course and crumbly.Add 1 cup of whipping cream, stirring just till moistened. (I add a bit more cream, it depends on your flour.
2
now add the 1/2 cup currants and the orange zest. Turn out on lightly floured surface, and knead 4 to 5 times.( don't overwork your dough)
Roll out 3/4 inch thick and cut with rounded biscuit cutter (heart shapes are fun too)
3
Place each scone about 2 inches apart on a non stick baking sheet. Brush tops of the scones with the remaining 2 Tbsp.cream or the egg white. Sprinkle with sugar
Bake at 375* for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm with Devonshire cream and jams.
