A dry mix of self-rising flour, sugar, cranberries, pecans and orange peel. Pack it in a jar or cellophane bag, then stir in cream and milk to bake drop biscuits.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans toasted
  • 4 teaspoons dried grated orange peel

Drop spoonfuls onto the sheet; sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden.
Storage: dry mix airtight in a cool, dry place up to 2 months. Leftovers covered in fridge 3 to 4 days; frozen up to 2 months. Don't eat raw dough.
