1.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick coating. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in currants or raisins. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.

In a medium mixing bowl stir together the 2/3 cup milk, egg, and egg white. Add milk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes or until smooth.
3.
Roll or pat into a 9-inch circle; cut into 10 wedges. Place wedges on prepared baking sheet. Brush with the 2 teaspoons milk. Bake in a 450 degree F oven about 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm. If desired, serve with Strawberry Cream Cheese. Makes 10 scones.
