Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450F. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder. Add orange zest, seeds, currants, sugar, and sour cream.
- 2. Add butter in small pieces, cut into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk, mixing lightly with your fingers.Knead briefly until mixture just comes together. It's important not to overmix. Dough will be a little sticky.
- 3. Pull off clumps to make 12 mini breads. I sometimes sprinkle these with a pinch of sanding sugar to give them a sparkle.
- 4. Divide breads onto 2 baking sheets about 3-4" apart. Bake until puffed and golden, 12-14 minutes at 450F.
