In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Stir in the currants or raisins.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg.
Gradually add the milk and egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
