Mimosa Biscuits

Makes 12 biscuits

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

zest of one orange

2 tablespoons shortening

1/2 cup champagne 

1/2 cup orange juice

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  In a mixing blow combine flour, baking powder, salt and orange zest.  Work in shortening into the flour mixture with the tips of the fingers, or cut in with two knives.  Add the champagne and orange juice gradually, mixing with a knife to form a soft dough ball.  Roll dough lightly on a floured board to one-half inch in thickness. Cut shape with a biscuit cutter and place on a greased baking pan.  Bake for twelve to fifteen minutes.  Remove for over and serve warm.

So happy to see this recipe. I had clipped one years ago, and lost it. Once I found it again, it was tattered. The only difference I see is that this version uses 1/2 cup less flour. Many thanks for posting this.
