Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0C. Lightly grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Sift flours, soda and salt into a large bowl. Stir in currants and sugar. Make a well in the center. Pour in buttermilk and mix quickly to a soft, sticky dough.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently into a smooth, round ball. Place on prepared pan.
Bake 25-30 mins, until bun sounds hollow when tapped. If browning too quickly, cover with foil. Cool in pan 5 mins. Remove from pan; completely on wire rack.
For the icing, combine powdered sugar and 1 tbsp hot water. Add a few drops of food color, mixing well. Drizzle over bun. Sprinkle with coconut.
