Name: Orange and cardamom biscuits
Total time: 2400 s
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 250 gram plain flour; 8 cardamom pod; 100 gram icing sugar; 150 gram butter; 1 orange; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon water; 100 gram white chocolate

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the flour (250 g) , cardamom (8) and icing sugar (100 g) once or twice to combine. Tip in the butter (150 g) and pulse until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the orange zest (1) , egg yolk (1) and water (5 mL) , then pulse again until a dough forms.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, gently press the dough into a flat disc. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 20 minutes.

Step 5

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 3mm thick, then use a cutter to cut out around 24 biscuits. Lift onto the baking sheets and pop in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up, then bake for 7-8 minutes, until golden.

Step 6

Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate (100 g) in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. When the biscuits are ready, decorate them in criss-cross patterns. Allow to cool.
