Method

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar and brown sugar and mix on low speed for 1 minute.

Add butter and mix on low speed for 1 minute more, or until smooth and fully combined.

Stir in currants.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk.

Add to flour mixture and mix on low speed just until dough comes together.

Dust hands with flour and knead dough a few times until ingredients are well incorporated.

Pat dough into an 8-inch circle about 1/2 inch thick and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.

Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake until scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.

Allow scones to cool scones for 5 minutes before serving.
