Orange Butter Biscuits

Step 1

Mix the flour and sugar well, then rub in the butter until you have a fine breadcrumb consistency. (You can use your KitchenAid at speed 1 with the flat beater to do this, ensure butter a little soft though.) Then use a blunt knife to mix through the orange zest. Lastly use the egg to bind. Wrap the biscuit mixture in clingfilm and chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. I left mine in the fridge overnight and baked first thing.

Step 2

Roll onto a lightly floured surface using a floured rolling pin to a thickness of about 3mm. Cut out shapes and bake in a preheated oven at 180C/Gas 4 for about 12 minutes until the biscuits are lightly browned. Leave to cool a little on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. These biscuits would LOVE to be drizzled in chocolate if you had any spare. (Ponders… who has spare chocolate?)

Step 3

NB: Try to only re-roll the scraps from the first batch of shapes you cut out once more as the more you handle this dough the tougher it becomes. Also, if you’re very worried about the biscuits holding their shape then chill the cut out shapes on the baking tray for 20 minutes before baking them.
