Serves: Makes 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar

- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with baking spray with flour.
- In the work bowl of a food processor, combine flour, granulated sugar, orange zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, pulsing to combine. Add butter, and process just until mixture is crumbly. Pour mixture into a medium bowl. Add strawberries and buttermilk, stirring to combine (do not overmix).
