Currant Scones

Delicious, tall, many layered flaky scones. You could easily pay a lot of money for a scone like this at a coffee shop. As part of a soup-based dinner, it made for a satisfying meal. I did not trim and re-roll any of the dough, opting for cutting all the dough in the rectangle into triangles. If you followed her advice, all of the scones would have been prettier and rose higher. The ones I chilled while the first batch was cooking did turn out a little higher. My boys were just interested in finding the biggest ones and eating them and thought they were fantastic. There are two variations which also look great: dried cranberry and lemon poppy seed. This is a big batch of dough, I really should have used my largest bowl, and it makes 12 substantial scones.
