Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease baking sheets.

Step 2

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add morsels, raisins and orange peel; mix well. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine buttermilk, 2 eggs and orange extract in small bowl.

Brush egg mixture over top of dough.
