Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes, then add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the orange zest and make a well in the center of the mixture.

Step 5

Pour the orange juice into the well and gently mix with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Gather any remaining dough, re-roll it, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream to give them a golden hue while baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.

Step 11

Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
