Traditional Fruit Scones with Currants or Raisins

• Fruit Options: Currants give a classic flavor, but raisins, sultanas, or even dried cranberries can be used for a twist.
• Dough Handling: The key to soft scones is minimal handling—mix and knead only as much as necessary to bring the dough together.
• Serving Tip: Scones are at their very best fresh from the oven. If serving later, reheat briefly in a low oven for that just-baked warmth.
• Freezing: Baked scones freeze well. Once cool, freeze in a single layer, then store in a zip-top bag. Reheat from frozen at 160°C for 10–12 minutes.

These fruit scones are a nostalgic bake that brings people together with their warm, fluffy centers and golden tops. Whether made in a school kitchen or your own, the joy of baking—and sharing—remains the same.
