Orange Shortbread Biscuits

Wednesday evening saw a friend come round for dinner and some baking! 4 different types of baked goods in all (recipes for Peanut Chip and Chocolate Cookies, Triple-Chocolate Cookies and Nutty White Chocolate Brownies coming soon).

 Orange Shortbread Biscuits


Pre-heat your oven to 190°C/gas 5 and grease and line a baking tray. Cream together 100g butter with 50g caster sugar. Stir in the grated zest of 1 orange. Add 175g plain flour and ½ tsp baking powder. Stir until combined and then bring together with your hands. Divide the mixture into 10 balls and place spread apart on your baking tray (you may need 2 as you don't want them too close together). Bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes until golden, leave to cool on the tray for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Simple as that, for citrus yummy-ness!
