1 cup (240 grams) plus 1 teaspoon (5 grams) heavy whipping cream, divided
¾ cup (96 grams) dried currants
1 large egg (50 grams)
Vanilla Syrup (recipe follows)
Vanilla Bean Glaze (recipe follows)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the work bowl of a food processor, place flour, ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar, baking powder, tea, and salt; pulse until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly.
Transfer dough to a large bowl, and fold in 1 cup (240 grams) cream and currants until combined. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly, just until dough comes together. Press dough into prepared cake pan. Turn out, and using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and remaining 1 teaspoon (5 grams) cream. Brush top of scones with egg wash.
Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
