1
Preheat over to 425°. Use a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Combine dry ingredients; stir well with fork. Add butter and cut into dry mixture with a butter knife, until mixture looks like fresh bread crumbs.

Add buttermilk and currants. Mix only until dry ingredients are moistened. Gather dough into ball and press until it holds together.
3
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead lightly 12 times. Pat dough into a circle 1/2 inch thick.
4
Brush dough with glaze. Place scones 1 inch apart on baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until tops are browned. Serve hot.
