ORANGE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Make a well in the center and add orange peel, orange juice, and milk. Stir until dough just clings together.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10-12 strokes. Roll or pat dough to 1/2" thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2" biscuit cutter.
• Put biscuits onto a greased baking sheet. Brush tops with orange juice and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

ORANGE MARMALADE TEA BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt, mixing on medium speed for 20 seconds.
• Add the shortening and mix on low speed until you have a coarse meal, about 1 minute.
• With the mixer still running, add the egg replacer, then 1/2 cup of the marmalade, then the rice milk. Mix until the dough is just combined. It will still be crumbly.
• Sprinkle your work surface, a rolling pin, and your hands with a little gluten-free flour mix. Turn out the dough onto the floured board, pat into a disk, and gently roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter, gathering scraps and rerolling as necessary. Place 12 biscuits on each baking sheet. Top each with about 1 teaspoon of the remaining marmalade. Bake for 15 minutes, until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges and the marmalade is bubbling. Let cool slightly before eating.

TEA BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder and salt together.
• Cut in the butter until crumbly.
• Add milk.
• Turn out on a lightly floured surface and roll to about 3/4" thick.
• Cut out circles. To do this, my mother taught me to use drinking glass. Just turn it upside down and press into the dough. Perfect rounds every time.
• Place rounds on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.
