These classic currant scones are definitely a favorite among Zing regulars; they practically purr when they eat them. To that, we will say that using quality ingredients, including award-winning Vermont Creamery Cultured Butter*, is the key to creating delicate, flaky, and velvety smooth scones that melt in your mouth. They’re so satisfying you don’t need to butter them and so good you won’t want to stop at just one.
*Vermont Creamery’s Unsalted Cultured Butter with 82% butterfat—our go-to butter—brings rich cultured flavor to our all-butter scones. It’s earned serious praise too—2nd-Place winner at the 2026 American Cheese Society (ACS) Competition and a near perfect score of 99.95 out of 100 at the 2024 World Championship Cheese Contest.
