3. Spread the cranberry mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

5. Stir melted butter and milk into the dry ingredients until a thick batter forms.
6. Spoon the batter evenly over the cranberry layer.

Notes
Frozen cranberries work perfectly without thawing.
Orange zest brightens the tart cranberry flavor beautifully.
Do not overmix the batter or the topping may become dense.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
