Orange Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
    1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
    1/3 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup milk
    Topping
    2 tablespoons orange juice
    2 tablespoons sugar
Preparation
    Combine flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
    Cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Make a well in the center and add orange peel, orange juice, and milk. Stir until dough just clings together.
    Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10-12 strokes. Roll or pat dough to 1/2\" thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2\" biscuit cutter.
    Put biscuits onto a greased baking sheet. Brush tops with orange juice and sprinkle with sugar.
    Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
