Attempt at Scottish Orange Marmalade

[Tobus]

I'm not a Southerner, but I do know good, homemade buttermilk biscuits My Grandmother (b.1906-d.2012),Scottish side, was born in East Texas. Made biscuits to her late 90's, daily. Taught my wife, who can make them as good.

My wife (native Texan from Waco) makes some killer buttermilk biscuits. She doesn't even measure her ingredients; she just makes 'em from memory. It's one of her womanly skills that took me no time at all to realise I wanted to marry her.

It's also one of the reasons I'm on a diet. Lordy help me, there's nothing better than buttermilk biscuits with plenty of butter. Top 'em with jelly, jam, marmalade, gravy, cheese, I don't care. I'll scarf 'em down like a hog at the trough. She bakes them in a pool of butter so that the bottoms are basically fried. Oh, mama!
