 Directions

Preheat oven to 425øF. Sift flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking

currants. Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter with dark molasses in heavy small

ungreased cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush with melted butter.
Sprinkle with sugar. Bake until scones are just firm to touch, about 20
minutes. Serve scones hot.
