1 teaspoon baking powder

2 Tablespoons grated orange peel

Instructions:

In a food processor, pulse flour, baking soda, baking powder, orange peel, and sugar briefly to mix. Add butter and process until crumbly. Add pecans and pulse 2 or 3 times, just long enough to chop and combine.

Turn out into large bowl and stir buttermilk into mixture.

Knead on floured surface, and pat flat until 1 inch thick. Cut with a cookie cutter and place on a ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with egg wash (one egg beaten lightly with fork).

Bake 12 minutes at 425 degrees. Serve with jelly or honey.
