Servings: persons

2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Cream Of Tartar
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 cups Sugar
1 cup Dried Currants
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/3 cups Cold Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Slices
1-1/4 cup Sourdough Starter
_____
FOR THE GLAZE:
2 teaspoons Butter
1/4 cups Orange Juice
1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

1
Preheat an oven to 400u00b0F. Sprinkle two baking sheets lightly with flour.
2
Whisk together the flour, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, sugar, currants and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cut in the slices of butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sourdough starter and mix by hand to form a soft dough.
3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 1/2-inch thick round. Use a biscuit cutter to cut into circles and place the scones on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Re-roll dough if needed.
4
Bake until the scones just start to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Remove scones from baking sheets and cool on sheets of parchment paper.
5
While scones are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, orange juice and powdered sugar. Bring to a low boil, stirring continually for about 10 minutes until mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
6
When scones are cool, lightly brush each with glaze and allow to set to harden. Store in an airtight container or serve immediately!
