Sift the flour into a bowl and mix thoroughly with baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and orange zest. Peel the oranges carefully with a sharp knife, removing the white pith. Slice the fruit segments from the separating membranes, halve them and catch the juice that drains. Squeeze out juice from the remaining orange parts. In a separate large bowl whisk the egg lightly. Then add sugar, oil, buttermilk and the orange pieces with juice and mix. Finally fold in the flour mixture gently until just combined. Pour the batter into the cups and place on a baking sheet.
