Cooking time: 5-10 minutes
These light, citrus shortbreads will leave you with a sweet mouthwatering taste. They are so easy to make and perfect for an evening bite.
Ingredients
115g unsalted butter
50g caster sugar
Finely grated rind of 1 large orange
175g plain flour
40g dark/milk chocolate
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5. Lightly grease 2 baking tins.
2. Put your butter into a large bowl and place in the microwave for 15 seconds. (This will just make the butter a bit softer for you to mix together) When your butter is softened, add your sugar and mix together until soft and creamy, then finely grate your orange rind and add to the mixture and beat well until fully mixed.
3. Gradually add the flour using a wooden spoon at first, then with your hands gently form your mixture into a soft ball. Roll the dough on a lightly floured work surface to about ½cm or 1cm thick.
4. Cut into fingers. (My size was about 3½cm wide and 10cm long) and place onto your tray making sure they are far apart. Sprinkle a dust of sugar on top of your shortbreads and prick them lightly with a fork.
5. Bake until very lightly golden. Take them out the oven and carefully lift your shortbreads onto a wire rack and set aside to cool completely.
6. When your shortbreads are completely cool, melt your chocolate (either in a pan or microwave, i recommend the microwave as it only takes seconds!). When your chocolate is all melted, place them on a plastic tray or something big and flat. Grab a piping bag and place your chocolate in and pipe away! When you have finished decorating your shortbreads place them in the fridge to set.
There you go, now you can enjoy your shortbreads with your friends and family (or to yourself! :-P)
