Pre heat oven to 
400 °F Combine 2 1/2 cup flour, 6 tbsp sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp kosher salt and 3/4 cup currants in a medium sized mixing bowl.
Blend 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), thinly sliced with the flour mixture. Work quickly using your finger tips, or use the paddle on a stand mixer, and mix until the dough resembles course meal.
Combine 1 cup chilled whipping cream and 2 large eggs with a whisk until fully mixed.
Pour egg mixture over flour/currant mixture and blend until just combined.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and press dough into a 1" high circle. Cut dough into 3" rounds using a cookie cutter.
Transfer dough to a parchment lined cookie sheet, sprinkle lightly with sugar and transfer to a pre heated 400 °F oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 °F and bake for another 18 minutes.
