Servings: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour , spooned and leveled
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- zest from 1 medium orange
- 1/2 cup unsalted cold butter , cut into cubes
- 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- honey , for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
- Cut in the butter with a pastry blender (or your hands), until the mixture resembles small crumbs.
- Add the cranberries and buttermilk to the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined (do not over mix!) Dough will be sticky.
- Drop dough in 8 equal portions (about 1/3 cup each) an inch apart, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. (Keep an eye on them and tent with foil the last couple minutes if it looks like they're over-browning.)
- Serve with a drizzle of honey!
