Heat oven to 400°. 2. Soak currants in warm water for 10 minutes to soften; drain. Cut margarine into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt with pastry blender until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in orange peel, egg, currants and just enough half-and-half until dough leaves side of bowl. 3. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll or pat into two 6-inch circles about 1/2 inch thick. Place on ungreased cookie sheet; brush with beaten egg white. 4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.
