In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup white whole wheat flour, and 0.5 cups cake flour.

Add 0.25 cups dark brown sugar, 0.25 teaspoons salt, and 0.5 teaspoons baking soda to the flour mixture.

Cut in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until the mixture resembles oatmeal.

Add 0.33 cups of currants to the mixture.

Pour in 1.25 cups of buttermilk and mix until just combined, adding more buttermilk if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
