Ok, I just made that up today. But every Friday dh and his friends go to Starbucks before work and I try to have some homemade goodies for him to share. That's how I tweeked my cookie recipe. I made them pumpkin bread. Today I made my banana bread so dh can take it. Of course I make some for home too so everyone here has a little treat to either have for breakfast or with lunch too.
I think next week maybe I'll try to make some sweet scones. I've never made scones before.
1 1/2 c. Flour 2 Tb. sugar (+1 Tb for later) 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest 4 Tb. chilled butter (cut up) 1/2 c. currants (or raisins if you must) 1/2 c. buttermilk 1 separated egg
preheat oven 375. sift together first 5 ingredients add lemon zest cut in butter; stir in currants mix egg yolk w/buttermilk make a well in the dry ingredients mix wet w/dry just until combined. don't over mix! form into 9 or 10 muffins brush w/egg white sprinkle w/ remaining sugar bake 12-15 mins (until golden)
(I think the last time I made these I sprinkled a little bit of flour on the currants and swished them around in my hands before mixing them in. This stopped them from sticking to one another and therefore less clumping)

I've never eaten currants. I guess I buy them by raisins???? I have a giant bag of craisins but they're probably not close, eh.
