Cut 1/2 cup chilled butter into 2.5 to 3 cups flour until it looks granular.

Add and whisk in:

3 T Sugar (1.5 oz)
4 t baking powder (0.7 oz)
1/2 t salt (0.1 oz)

At this point you can freeze the dough for later use.


In the center of the mixture make a well and add: 

1/2 to 1 cup currents (or raisens or cranberries)

1/2 to 1 cup of milk

Stir with a knife until it is just short of gooey. Start with a small amount adding more and stirring until the dough begins to hang together.

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop small 1" to 1.5" lumps of the dough un the sheet.

Bake @ 425 10 - 15 minutes
