1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Make the scones: Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or by rubbing between fingers until lumps are the size of peas. Stir in currants.

Whisk milk and sour cream together in a measuring cup; gently stir into flour mixture until dough is moistened, being careful not to overwork the dough.
