Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 mugs of all-purpose white flour
  • Sugar in a quarter cup measure
  • a half-teaspoon of borax
  • a pinch of salt
  • Cup shortening: two thirds
  • Milk with 2% fat content: 1 cup
  • 1 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • butter with lemon flavour:
  • Softened butter is 1/2 cup.
  • Lemon juice in the amount of 4-1/2 teaspoons
  • Grate 2 teaspoons of lemon zest into the mixture.
  • Optional: 1 Tbsp coarsely chopped onion

Instructions

  1. The flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt should be mixed in a large basin before adding to the batter. The mixture should resemble fine crumbs after adding shortening and continuing to cut. Make sure the mixture is well-distributed by adding milk and lemon juice. Knead 8-10 times on a floured surface.
  2. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-inch biscuit cutter after rolling out to a half-inch thickness. Use baking sheets that haven’t been greased and space them 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 450 degrees until golden brown.
  3. Combine all lemon butter ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. To accompany the meal, serve it with some warm biscuits.
