-
Preheat the oven to 425 F.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and mix into the dry ingredients. Use your hands to rub it in until the dough takes on a coarse texture.
-
Add the egg, heavy cream, and 1/4 cup red wine. Knead everything into a smooth dough.
-
Knead in the dried currants.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat out into a flat shape.
-
Use a heart cutter to form 8 pieces.
-
Transfer the shapes to the baking sheet. Place in oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the scones start to turn slightly golden.
-
Remove from oven and transfer the scones to a wire rack positioned over a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Let scones cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of wine. The glaze should be a pourable consistency. If it is to thick or thin, adjust by adding more liquid (water or wine) or more powdered sugar one tablespoon at a time.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
