  3. In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt - stir to combine.
  4. Next, add the grated butter to the flour mixture, add currants stir lightly to combine.
  5. In a small bowl, add egg, buttermilk, and Baileys' - whisk together until combined.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour, stir until the dough begins to form - about 30 seconds.
  7. Transfer the dough and all remaining dry flour onto a piece of parchment paper. Knead the dough lightly until it just comes together into a slightly sticky ball. Add a small amount of flour to the top and pat gently into a round disk about 6 inches wide as pictured. Cut into 8 wedges. Transfer the parchment paper along with the scones to a baking sheet.
  8. Bake until tops are light brown 12-15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove the scones to a cooling rack to cool completely before drizzling with icing.
  9. To make icing: Stir powdered sugar with Baileys's until smooth. If too runny to hold its shape when drizzled, add a small amount of sugar to thicken. If too thick - add more Baileys a drop at time.
  10. Using the tip of a spoon, drizzle icing over cooled scones. Let set in a cool dry space, about 30 minutes.
