0. Preheat oven to 425F.
1. Combine (A) in a mixing bowl.
2. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Reserve 2T beaten eggs. Stir remaining egg, milk and currants (C) into flour mixture just until particles cling together.
4. Turn out only lightly floured board and knead 6-10 times.
5. On greased Superstone tile (or cookie sheet), pat into a circle about 3/4" thick. Cut into 8 wedges; keep wedges slightly apart so that they have room to rise.

7. Bake for (14)-18-20 minutes at 425F until browned. Time varies if you have thinner scones.
