Cut the butter into small pieces. Cut butter pieces into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized pieces remaining. Add the zest and currants. Toss gently to coat. Gradually add buttermilk (keep back 2 tablespoons for brushing on tops of scones) until dough just holds together.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and roll it to 3/4" thickness. Using a 2" round cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough. Place on an oiled baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk.
Bake at 425F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
