Recipe ingredients
- 2 cups sifted self-rising flour
- Grated rind of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup milk

Recipe method
- 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.
