Upside-Down Orange Biscuits

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 Tablespoons shortening

3/4 cup milk

2 Tablespoons butter, softened

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping:

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup orange juice

3 Tablespoons butter, melted

2 teaspoons grated orange peel

In  large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in milk just until moistened.  Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10- 12 times.  Roll into a 15×12 rectangle.  Spread with softened butter.  Combine the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter.  Roll up jellyroll style, starting from the short side.  Cut into 12 equal slices.  Place, cut side down, in a greased 9″ round baking pan.  Combine topping ingredients; pour over biscuits.  Bake at 450° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool in pan for 5 minutes; invert onto a platter and serve warm.  Yield: 12 biscuits.
