In large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt ; stir in currants, and caraway seeds (if using).Whisk together buttermilk, butter and egg; pour over flour mixture, tossing with fork to form sticky dough.
Scrape onto floured surface; gently knead 10 times. Transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheet; press into 7-inch (18 cm) round. With sharp knife, score top into 8 wedges.
Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Whole grain flours, such as whole wheat, naturally contain oils that can go rancid when stored at room temperature. To keep your whole grain flour fresh, store it in a tightly sealed airtight container in the freezer.
