Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 cup shortening
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries, finely snipped
-
1 8-ounce container orange yogurt or vanilla yogurt
Directions
1.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, orange peel, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cranberries; toss until mixed. Make a well in center of the flour mixture. Add yogurt all at once to the flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
2.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead dough by gently folding and pressing dough 10 to 12 strokes or until nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter into flour between cuts. Place biscuits 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
3.
Bake in a 450 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Remove from baking sheet. Serve warm. Makes 10 biscuits.
