Step 1
1. Preheat the oven with the rack in the center to 190 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or line the cups with paper liners. Let the melted butter cool slightly. In a large bowl, rub the sugar and orange zest together between your fingers until the sugar becomes moist and fragrant. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together the orange and lemon juices, lemon extract, melted butter, and eggs.

2. Pour the citrus mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk or rubber spatula. Don't worry if there are a few lumps in the batter; the key is not to overmix. Stir in the dried currants and evenly distribute the batter among the prepared pan's compartments.

3. Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes until golden, until a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins from the pan and let cool completely.
