Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a saucepan, combine orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and butter. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly pour the hot orange mixture into the eggs while whisking continuously.
-
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool.
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the milk until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times.
-
Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
-
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Serve the sweet orange curd with the flaky biscuits.
