Sourdough Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. whole wheat flour
4 Tbsp. sugar, divided
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
grated peel of 1 orange
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/3 c. currants (raisins work fine)
1/2 c. cold butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 c. sourdough starter

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the flours, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, soda, orange peel, lemon peel and currants.
With a pastry blender, work in the butter until fine crumbs are formed. Add the sourdough starter; stir with a fork until dough holds together.
Form the dough into a ball and knead briefly, only until ingredients are combined.
Cut the dough into two equal parts; shape each half into a ball.
Flatten into a 5-inch circle, leaving dough slightly higher in the center.
Cut each circle into 6 wedges.
Sprinkle scones with remaining tablespoon of sugar.
Place them on ungreased baking sheet; bake in the middle of a preheated 375\u00b0 oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
