Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Mix together oats, flour, currants, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Beat egg in a medium bowl until frothy; stir in melted butter and milk. Pour into the well and mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer dough to a clean work surface. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces, then pat each piece into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Place dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet; score each into 8 wedges.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until risen and browned, about 15 minutes. Split wedges and serve warm.
