Add the baking powder, cinnamon and orange zest<\/p>\n
stir the soda into the orange juice, over the bowl because it will <\/u>bubble and overflow<\/u>. and add it all into the bowl<\/p>\n

We put them on the tray with baking paper and make a pattern with the fork on top of each biscuit so that they can be well honeyed<\/p>\n
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15-18 minutes until they become a dark color<\/p>\n
As soon as they come out of the oven, put the biscuits directly in the cold syrup for 1 minute and turning over for another minute (putting several in the pot at a time)<\/p>\n
place them on a large plate and add grated walnuts on top<\/p>\n
