Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp dried grated orange peel or if using fresh use 1 teaspoon
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, or standup mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and orange peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl; add to creamed mixture just until blended. Mix in vanilla. Fold in currants.
  • 2. Fill greased muffin cups or paper lined muffin cups two thirds full. Bake in preheated over at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. You can eat these warm or cold and also you can dust them with confectioners' sugar if you want to.
