• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter two baking sheets, or line them with parchment paper. Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in sour cream and egg.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until they are well combined. Stir in currants and lemon zest.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough about 1 1/2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake until cookies are puffed and golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheets before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Add the egg whites gradually, beating thoroughly after each addition to incorporate fully. Gently mix in the flour to create a smooth batter. Stir in the currants, distributing them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the batter has firmed up and is easier to manipulate.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Use 2 demitasse spoons (or other small spoons) to shape the cookies. Scoop up about 1 teaspoon of batter with 1 spoon and slide it off with the other spoon onto the baking sheet. As you work, space the cookies about 2 inches apart. Do your best to create marble-sized mounds.
• Bake the cookies, 1 sheet at a time, for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are brown and the centers are pale yellow. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
