Sourdough Scones

• 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

1. In a medium bowl, combine the flours, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, soda, orange peel, lemon peel and currants.
2. 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.
3. Form the dough into a ball and knead briefly, only until ingredients are combined.
4. Cut the dough into two equal parts; shape each half into a ball.
5. Flatten into a 5-inch circle, leaving dough slightly higher in the center.
6. Cut each circle into 6 wedges.
7. Sprinkle scones with remaining tablespoon of sugar.
8. Place them on ungreased baking sheet; bake in the middle of a preheated 375u0b0 oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
