So quick and easy to make and just perfect with a cup of Yorkshire tea.
This is a classic shortbread recipe with a twist, by adding the zest of an orange you get a real subtle flavour. If orange is not to your liking you can easily leave it out!
INGREDIENTS
170g (6oz) Flour
115g (4oz) Butter room temperature.
56g (2oz) Sugar
Zest Orange
Step 1: Mix
Add the flour, butter, sugar and orange zest to a bowl and combine, first by rubbing into bread crumbs, then squish. It doesn't look like it will come together, but it does!
Step 2: Chill
Roll the combined dough into a slim sausage about the diameter of a 10p this will give you lovely delicate size shortbreads. If you prefer a bigger shortbread then roll your sausage to about the diameter of a rolling pin. Once rolled wrap in cling film and allow to firm up.
Step 3: Line
Line a baking sheet. Then slice your sausage into 1/2cm thick circles and space evenly out on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake
Bake in a 180c oven for about 12-15 mins or until the biscuits are golden.
Step 5: Serve
Remove and allow to cool before enjoying!
