In a bowl, mix 300 grams of all-purpose flour, 20 grams of baking powder, and 5 grams of sea salt.

Add 75 grams of caster sugar and mix well.

Add 75 grams of unsalted butter and rub into the flour mixture until well combined, or use a food processor to blitz for 30 to 60 seconds.

Add 140 grams of dried fruit (currants) to the mixture.

Pour in 85 grams of full fat milk and 85 grams of double cream, mixing until a well-hydrated dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently bring it together, then cover with a bowl and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Flour the work surface and the top of the dough, then roll it out to a thickness of a couple of fingers.

Cut the dough into rounds with a cutter, pressing down directly without twisting.

Place the scones on a non-stick tray or lined tray, and apply an egg wash.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 220 degrees Celsius (430 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
