Orange Tea Buns

2 level tablespoons butter.

1 tablespoon orange juice 1/2 cup powdered sugar.

3 cups Gold Medal flour.

4 level teaspoons baking powder.

3 tablespoons butter 3/4 to 1 cup milk Grated rind of one or two oranges 1 heaping teaspoon powdered sugar.

Cook the butter, orange juice and sugar over moderate fire till it thickens, and set it aside to cool.

Mix and sift the flour and baking powder. Work in the butter. Add milk gradually. Roll out rather thin and spread the filling on the sheet. Roll up and pull out into long roll as big around as a silver dollar. Cut in half-inch thick slices and put close together in well buttered pan. Sprinkle over the top the grated rind, mixed with powdered sugar. Bake in moderate oven (375°) about twenty minutes.

The same taste is achieved more simply by adding the grated orange rind and juice and one fourth cup sugar to an ordinary biscuit dough.
