Preheat oven to 350. Grease a baking sheet or use a baking stone. Set aside.

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins or currants.

Beat egg in a medium bowl with a fork. Add buttermilk. Beat until well combined. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough that clings together and forms a ball.

Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Knead the dough gently 10 to 12 times. Place dough on prepared baking sheet or baking stone and pat dough into a 7 inch round.

Score top of dough with tip of a sharp knife, making an “X” about 4 inches long and 1/4 inch deep.

Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Immediately remove from baking sheet, cool on a wire rack or on a folded cotton towel.
