Christmas 2025–Adjustment to ‘Basic Dough’ recipe

I wasn't happy with the first batch of 'Basic Dough' so I made a second one but differently.

In the bowl of the KitchenAid with the paddle

1/2 pound of butter (2 sticks)

6 Tablespoons sugar

Rind and juice of one orange

1/4 cup Milk

2 to 21/4 cups flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

2 eggs

1. Cream butter (not melted) with sugar

2. Add orange juice and rind

3. Reduced milk to 1/4 cup

4. Add flour and baking powder

5. Add eggs, one at a time, but only 2

6. Blend with mixer paddle then switch to dough hook and add maybe another 1/4 cup flour
