Sugar cube orange biscuits

Ingredients:

2 cups sifted self-rising flour
Grated rind of 1 orange
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk
18 to 20 small sugar cubes
1/4 cup fresh orange juice

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Measure flour into a mixing bowl. Add orange rind.
With a pastry blender or fork and knife, cut the shortening into flour until the texture resembles coarse meal.
Add enough milk to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and lightly knead until smooth.
Pat or roll the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
Cut with a lightly floured 2-inch biscuit cutter and place rounds on an ungreased baking sheet.
Dip the sugar cubes thoroughly in the orange juice and press a cube into the top of each biscuit.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until brown. Serve hot.
