Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the currants.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick.
-
Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into wedges or rounds.
-
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
