Directions
Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into mixing bowl.
Cut in shortening with a pastry blender, blending it until the mixture resembles coarse corn meal.
Add orange rind. Stirring in with a fork, add enough milk to make soft dough, or until flour leaves sides of bowl and follows fork; continue stirring until all flour disappears.
Turn out on board, knead lightly for about ½ minute.
Turn smooth side up and pat dough or roll ½ inch thick, cut with floured biscuit cutter.
Transfer biscuits to a greased baking sheet; place 1 inch apart if crusty biscuits are desired, or barely touching each other for softer biscuits with less crust.
Bake at 450℉ (230℃). for 12 to 15 minutes.
Serve warm biscuits with jam and/or butter if desired.
