Tartine's Biscuity Buttermilk Scones

SAH mom, dear husband, dear daughter, dear twin sons, floppy eared fur-baby. Love to teach, garden, cook, sew and craft, occasional computer geek for children!!

There are no fancy ingredients in these scones, but they are incredible. Almost biscuit-like in consistency (these aren’t the crumbly, dense scones you try to avoid at that mediocre coffee shop by your office), flaky, slightly tangy, with a hint of lemon zest and that perfect sugar-crusted bite at the end.

4 ¾ cups of flour

¾ cup of dried currants

1 tablespoon of baking powder

¾ teaspoon of baking soda

½ cup of sugar

1 ¼ teaspoon of salt

1 cup plus 1 tablespoon of cold, unsalted butter

1 ½ cups of buttermilk

1 teaspoon of grated lemon zest

subheading: For the topping:

3 tablespoons of melted butter

turbinado sugar
