Preheat oven to 425. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, & salt in the bowl of a food processor; add butter & process until the mixture ressembles coarsely ground meal. Transfer to a bowl. [Use a pastry cutter if you don't have a food processor.] Add currants, then buttermilk, stirring quickly with a fork until the dough is soft & slightly sticky. With floured hANDs, press the dough into a ball.
Knead delicately a dozen times. Flatten the dough into a 1" thick circle. Cut into 3" disks. Repeat this with remaining dough. Paint the scones with egg. Bake 12-15 minutes.
