fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Mix in currants. Mix in egg
and enough buttermilk to form soft dough. Turn dough out onto floured
surface. Pat dough into 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut out rounds, using 2
1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Gather scraps, press together and pat out to
3/4-inch-thick round. Cut out additional rounds.
