Orange biscuits made with OJ and marmaladeOrange biscuits, where on earth did this idea come from? All credit to Gail Sher, whose book "From a Baker's Kitchen" provided the recipe. The nice thing about this is it's just one more way to get your daily Vitamin C!
Ok, let's begin: *2 cups sifted unbleached AP flour, 2 3/4 tsp baking powder * 1/2 tsp salt * 1/3 cup unsalted butter * 1/2 cup milk * 1/4 cup orange juice * 2 Tbsp orange marmalade * 1/4 cup melted butter * sugar to sprinkle Mix the dry ingredients and cut in the butter to a coarse meal texture. Add milk, OJ & marmalade, mix gently to bring together. (add a little more milk if needed) Put dough ball on a floured board, lightly knead, roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.

Put in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10-14 minutes until golden brown. This is a fun treat to make. I can hardly wait to see how my kids will enjoy them. Maybe a spoonful of jam, or perhaps some whipped cream? Put me down for both!
