Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp double-acting baking powder

  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 2 tbsp melted shortening

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Combine and add grated orange rind and sugar.
  • Combine and add egg, orange juice, milk and melted shortening.
  • ) Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl.
  • Combine all ingredients with a few swift strokes.
  • Stir lightly until barely blended.
