In a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Add chopped butter to the dry mixture and pulse until it resembles a sandy texture.

Use fingers to flatten the butter into the flour mixture to create flaky layers.

Chop kale finely and season with lemon juice and salt, then add to the mixture.

Add chopped sharp cheddar cheese and pecorino cheese to the mixture.

Hydrate currants in boiling water for a few minutes, then add to the mixture.

Pour cold buttermilk into the mixture and toss together with a spoon.

Dump the mixture onto a floured surface and gently knead to form a homogeneous ball.

Cut the dough in half and shape each half into a tall, fat disk.
