Servings: persons

2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
Pinch of Salt
3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar, plus more for dusting
Zest of One Lemon
1/4 cup Dried Currants
1/4 cup Sultanas (Thompson's Seedless)
1/2 cup Candied Orange Peel, finely diced
8 tablespoons Butter, chilled
1 Egg
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Orange Essence

1
Preheat the oven to 350. Soak the sultanas and currants in hot water or hot apple juice. This will plump them, and make them juicy in the scones.
2
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vanilla, orange essence, and egg.
3
Cut the butter into the flour mixture, using your fingers or a dough cutter. (I use a cutter). Work the mixture until the butter is about the size of large peas.
4
Drain the sultanas and currants very well. Add to the dough.
5
Combine the liquid and dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork or your fingers. The dough will form a very shaggy ball.
6
Dump the dough onto a clean work surface. Form into a large circle. You can cut the dough in eighths, making triangular scones. I like to gently roll out the dough and use a biscuit cutter to make 12 round scones (about the size of a hockey puck). Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
7
Bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden. I try to serve these immediately, but they will keep in an airtight container for up to two days.
