## **How to Make Egg-Free, Butter-Free Orange Biscuits**
### Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet
Start by preheating your oven to **425°F (220°C)**. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
### Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the **flour**, **baking powder**, **baking soda**, **salt**, and **sugar** (if using). These dry ingredients will create the base for the biscuit dough.
### Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
To the dry ingredients, add the **vegetable oil**, **fresh orange juice**, **orange zest**, and **non-dairy milk**. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture just begins to come together.
At this point, you may notice the dough is slightly sticky, which is perfectly fine. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense biscuits. The goal is to combine everything quickly and leave the dough a bit rough.
### Step 4: Shape the Biscuits
Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough down into a rectangle or circle about **1-inch thick**. You can either:
– **Use a biscuit cutter**: Dip a round cutter into flour and cut out biscuits. If you don’t have a biscuit cutter, you can use a glass or even a mason jar lid.
– **Form them by hand**: Alternatively, divide the dough into small portions and gently form them into round balls using your hands. This is a rustic approach that still works beautifully.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are close together but not touching. This helps them rise more evenly during baking.
### Step 5: Bake the Biscuits
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for **10-12 minutes** or until they are golden brown on top and slightly firm to the touch. The tops should be lightly crisp, while the inside remains soft and fluffy.
Step 6: Optional Orange Glaze
If you want to take these biscuits to the next level, you can make a quick **orange glaze** to drizzle on top. Simply mix **powdered sugar** with a bit of **orange juice** (1-2 tablespoons should do) until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven for an added touch of sweetness and citrus flavor.
