Stir in flour, 1/2 cup sugar, the baking powder and salt all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold in currants. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Mix 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon orange peel; sprinkle over batter in cups.

    The secret to making tender muffins is to not overmix the batter. Just stir until all of the flour looks moistened, then gently fold in any remaining ingredients the recipe may call for.
