Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup rice flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat 1 egg, then stir in 1/2 cup milk and 3 tablespoons melted butter.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in 1/2 cup currants (reserve a few for topping).
Step 6
Divide batter among 6 liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle reserved currants on top.
Step 7
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are golden, about 20-25 minutes. Cool, then dust with powdered sugar and garnish with mint if desired.
