In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder and
salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork,
stir in eggs and cream until just moistened. On a lightly floured surface,
knead gently 8 to 10 times.
Divide dough in half; pat each to a 6-inch circle, about 1 inch thick.
Place one circle on an ungreased baking sheet; spread filling evenly on
circle to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with second circle; gently press
edges to seal.
Brush top with egg white. Combine 2 teaspoons granulated sugar and 1/4
teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle over top. Cutting through top layer only, cut
into 8 wedges. Bake at 400° F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cut into 8 scones; serve warm.
Note: 1/2 cup of toasted chopped walnuts can be substituted for currants.
