Hello.
I made this recipe, still have some left, believe it or not. They are yummy. However, I read the recipe to mean 'drain the water from the currants, and add currants'. That would mean that the only liquid used in the making of the scones would be the 1/3 c. buttermilk. I had to add another 1/3 to 1/2 c buttermilk to moisten the dry ingredients enough so that it could be handled easily. Also, as a diabetic, I add no sugar to much of my baking. In this case, the currants added enough sweetness for my taste. Thanks for the great recipes. They always peak my interest!!
