Ingredients

  • 115g/1/2 cup butter, at room temperature

  • 200g/1 cup sugar

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 15ml/1 tbsp fresh orange juice

  • grated rind of 1 large orange

  • 200g/1 3/4 cups plain flour

  • 15ml/1 tbsp corn-flour

  • 2.5ml/1/2 tsp salt

  • 5ml/1 tsp baking powder

Method:

  1. Cream the butter sugar until light and fluffy. Add the yolks, orange juice and rind, and continue beating to blend.

  2. In another bowl, sift together the flour, corn-flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture and stir until it forms a dough. Wrap the dough in greaseproof paper and chill for 2 hours.
