Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 -3 teaspoons orange zest divided
  • 1/4 cup butter melted (or very soft)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 -2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening.
  2. Add 1-2 teaspoons orange zest to milk, stir.
  3. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture with a fork just until dough leaves sides of the bowl, the dough might be slightly sticky.
  4. Roll the dough out, on a lightly floured surface, into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Brush the top with butter (I prefer to use soft butter and spread it).
  5. Combine 1 teaspoon orange zest and sugar, stir to distribute the zest, mix in the cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over dough.
  6. Roll up, starting on the long side. Cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
  7. Place the rounds, with sides just touching, in greased 9" round pan.
  8. Bake at 425°F for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven, cool for about 10 minutes and drizzle with glaze, serve warm.
