Orange Currant Scone

According to Wikipedia scones are a type of quick bread that first originated in Scotland. Of course when I think of scones I think of England, but huh who knew? So here was my attempt at making this wonderful tea time snack:

Ingredients for the scone:

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

125 g butter softened

1/2 cup currants

zest from 1 orange

3/4 cup plain yogurt

1 egg

For the glaze:

1 egg white

1 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Sift together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, and baking powder.  

2. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the orange zest, butter, yogurt, egg, and currants. Fold everything together.

3. Create a a round ball and flatten. Place in your springform pan. The dough shouldn´t be touching the sides of your pan.

4. Bake for about 30 minutes.

5. Create the glaze. Take the scones out of the oven and brush the glaze over the scones. Put the scones back into the oven for another 5-10 minutes.  

6. Let the scones cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
