For best results, ensure all ingredients are as cold as possible, especially the butter and buttermilk. This helps create a tender, flaky scone. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough scone. Mix just until the dough comes together. Feel free to substitute the currants with other dried fruits like cranberries or raisins. For a richer flavor, brush the baked scones with a little extra melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
