Serves about 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, very cold
1/2 cup (minus 2 tablespoons) buttermilk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup currants

Preheat oven to 400 F and butter a baking sheet. Mix dry ingredients well. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse pebbles. Beat together egg, vanilla, and buttermilk, add to dry ingredients. Mix briefly. Add nuts and currants, mix. Turn dough out on well-floured cutting board. Knead briefly, working in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Shape into a square about 1-1/2 inches thick. Cut into 12 squares, then place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Enjoy while fresh and hot.
