2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. This step ensures that there are no lumps and the dry ingredients are well combined.

3. Incorporate Margarine: Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the reduced-calorie margarine until the mixture resembles coarse meal. This process helps distribute the fat evenly throughout the dough, resulting in a tender texture.

4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, egg substitute, reduced-sugar orange marmalade, and grated orange rind. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients mixture to the dry ingredients mixture, stirring gently until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough biscuits.

6. Form Biscuits: Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit to allow for spreading during baking.

7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.

8. Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful citrus aroma and flavor!
