Cranberry Orange Buttermilk Biscuits with White Lily Flour

Bring a bright twist to your biscuit game with these cranberry orange buttermilk biscuits. Light, fluffy, and full of festive flavor, they’re made with White Lily all-purpose flour for that unmistakably tender Southern texture.

Ingredients

• 2 cups White Lily all-purpose flour (or self-rising if preferred)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp fresh orange zest (about 1 medium orange)
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
• ¾ cup buttermilk, cold (plus extra for brushing)
• ½ cup dried cranberries (lightly chopped if large)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and orange zest.
3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Toss cranberries with a spoonful of flour, then fold them into the dry mixture.
5. Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together. Don’t overmix.
6. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold it over itself 2-3 times for layers.
7. Cut biscuits using a round cutter (don’t twist!) and place them close together on the baking sheet.
8. Brush tops with buttermilk. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Let cool slightly and serve warm with honey butter or orange marmalade.
