Well, it’s not a happy memorial day for me, it’s very stressful.

Power is out.

RECIPE!!!

Short answer:
Bisquick biscuits + one orange’s worth of orange zest (about a teaspoon) in the dough, bake like the box tells you to. Once they’re cool frost with buttercream which has an orange’s worth of orange zest added to it. Serve.

Long answer (for easier reference or in case Bisquick ever omits or changes their biscuit recipe):

Scones -
2 cups Original Bisquick Baking Mix
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon orange zest

Stir together until soft dough forms.
Drop dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

If you make them Panera-bakery-sized, one batch will make about four scones. They freeze well, although full disclosure I’ve only frozen them unfrosted.

Frosting -
NOTE: This makes enough frosting for several batches of scones.

4 cups powdered sugar
1 stick butter (melted)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of orange zest

Mix until well blended.

Well, everything else has failed because of the power outage. Our special Memorial Day dinner included. As a result, I had to come in and save the day.

Cowboy soup tonight.

I’m sorry to hear about the power outage but happy to hear you could save the day!

Thank YOU!

You are most welcome! The real ones are crazy expensive these days.

I just bought a „sun glas“. It is a solar powered light, which can also be powered by usb, it will come in very handy if there is a power outage, we didn’t have power outage many years ago, but now we have had 2 major ones within a few years, since I lived in Canada, I am used to them ( during the winter) but it was almost (!) funny how panicked the Germans reacted, when they didn’t have any power, interestingly, they all started TALKING to each other again
