I believe that trout meunière is the lightest, freshest, and cleanest manner I’ve ever eaten fish. It is coated, fried in a skillet till golden brown, and then drizzled with a lemony sauce. Traditional, simple, and wonderful.

Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons white sugar
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- ½ cup currants
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with baking parchment.
- Sift flour and baking powder into a medium bowl. Rub butter and sugar into flour to form a fine crumble. Make a well in center, and add milk and currants. Knead gently together, being careful not to over mix. Dough will be sticky.
- On a generously floured surface, roll out dough to 3/4 inch thickness. Stamp out 2 1/2 inch rounds with a plain pastry cutter. Transfer to prepared pan, and brush tops with egg yolk. Allow to stand for 15 minutes.
- Bake in preheated oven until risen and lightly golden on top, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool.

Reviews
my favorite of the ones I have tried.
Easy to make, and they rose up nicely. I substituted cranberries for currants. Brushing the tops with egg yolk gave them a nice rich appearance.
They were very good and easy to make. Will use this recipe again and maybe add sugar on top.
I never thought I would replace my old british scone recipe, but I was wrong. These are the best scones I’ve ever had. They can be eaten right out of the oven or they make great leftovers. super fluffy; not overly sweet. I use cranberries instead of currents, and any dried fruit would taste great. You definitely should give them a try.
The egg yolk brushed on top of my scones look terrible. Why brush with egg yolk? Why not egg white? I happen to have fresh chicken eggs so I used one of those yolks. Does not look very appetizing but I will try again and leave off the egg yolk.
I love scones alot. I looked for a recipe and i came across this recipe. I replaced the currants with chocolate chips to give it a chocolaty taste. I added a little extra sugar to give it better taste. I loved this recipe much more adding these ingredients!
I’m pretty sure currants are mostly a British thing, because I haven’t ever seen any commercially available in the US. In fact, I haven’t seen any since about 1964, when we moved away from central Pennsylvania, where we had a red currant hedge at the side of the yard (and an elderberry tree in the back yard). Raisins are a poor substitute, as I recall.
This came out delicious and light. I added a capful of almond extract and added nuts. Very easy recipe.
This is such a simple recipes and it works every time. Not too sweet, which is how I love my scones. The egg brush at the end really makes your scones pop!
We all really liked it. I didn’t have a baking pan/cookie sheet so I used a flat cast iron skillet that had been put in the oven while preheating. I also didn’t let it sit on the pan before cooking it. They ended up buttery/moist and biscuit-like, but my whole family loved them and I am making more right now. (i also didn’t add currants)
Used 1/2 wheat flour, sifting it twice. Sifted baking soda and white flour too. Used coconut sugar instead of regular sugar and added blue berries and raspberries. Keep in mind not sweet this way. Fluffy also.
I just made the scones and they came out delicious
I just followed the recipe. Turned out perfect. More like a biscuit,a delicious little treat.
This recipe worked great and got me compliments for my baking!
This was my first time making Scones. The only changes I made was to add 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 cup of blueberries. No raisins. They came out perfect. I will be making more for my family on Thanksgiving.
Love this recipe!! I put in about 1/8 tsp of Mexican Vanilla and drizzled cinnamon honey butter over the top with a dash of powdered sugar. It makes it one heck of a dessert!
I changed them to Keto scones by switching out the flour for almond flour and stevia for sugar. For this you need 2 eggs and about 2 Tbs more Stevia. This time I made them orange cranberry white chunk chocolate.
Best and easiest scones I have ever made
I used dried cranberries instead of currents and skipped the egg.
Wow-za…. This is my ‘go-to’ scone recipe. I just swap the currants for 1 3/4 cup fresh raspberries—–soooo good
This recipe is really great! I replaced the dried fruit with chocolate and white chips with the same amount stated and it turned out really good! I would recommend to add more chips if you want it to be more of “chocolatey”. Overall, this recipe is so easy and fast and turns out really yummy!
