Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large orange orange slices, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or cake pan.
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and mix in the orange zest and orange juice.
Pour the butter-brown sugar mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly over the bottom. Arrange the thinly sliced orange rounds in a single layer on top of the mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the 5 tablespoons of cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Dollop the biscuit dough over the orange slices and spread gently to cover the fruit. The surface does not have to be perfectly smooth.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate so the orange slices are on top.
Serve warm, either on its own or with whipped cream for an added treat.
