📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Add butter and cut in, using two forks or a pastry blender, until well combined. Add raisins, currants, and caraway seeds and stir to combine. Whisk together buttermilk and sour cream in a second bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until dry ingredients are moistened.
2
Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and gather into a ball. Knead until smooth, 8 to 10 times. Pat the dough into a 1 inch thick circle. Cut out 3 hearts using a floured 3 1/2-inch heart-shaped cutter. Arrange in a shamrock shape on a prepared baking sheet.
3
Cut a strip of dough 1 inch wide by 3 1/2 inches long from scraps using a floured chefs knife; attach to shamrock to make a stem. Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl; brush some of the egg wash on top and edges of clover. Bake until golden brown, 26 to ⏱️ 30 minutes.
