Ingredients

  • 4-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cups Fresh Sage, Chopped
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, Grated
  • 7 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 whole Oranges, Zested
  • 1/4 cups Orange Juice
  • 12 ounces, fluid Beer (I Used An Amber Ale)
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk
  • 1/4 teaspoons Paprika

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in cheese. Fold in melted butter, orange zest and juice, and beer. Stir just until combined.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat down into a 1-inch disc. Using a 3-inch round biscuit cutter, cut biscuits, gathering scraps as you go. Continue to pat down and cut remaining dough. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Brush biscuits with milk and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
