Preheat oven to 450 degrees and set a rack in the middle level. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut butter into 12 pieces and rub evenly into dry ingredients, until mixture has the appearance of meal. Add currants. Stir milk into flour and butter mixture to form a smooth dough. Knead lightly once or twice to complete mixing. Press and roll dough on a lightly floured surface about 1/4-inch thick, to a 10 by 15-inch rectangle. Roll dough up, as for a jelly roll, then flatten dough and fold in half. Roll dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut scones with a floured, plain or fluted, 2-inch round cutter. Transfer cut scones to paper lined pan and brush tops carefully with egg wash. Allow wash to dry 10 minutes and apply a second coat. Bake scones 15 minutes, being careful that they do not color too deeply, or until they are firm, but not dry.
