Munchy Monday #30: Orange cinnamon biscuits

This biscuit recipe is one of our favourites, especially in winter. I have just made a batch and four disappeared whilst I was putting them on the cooling rack! The self-appointed taster at large!

You will need:

6 oz plain flour (all purpose)
3 oz sugar
1 oz ground almonds
1 orange, grated rind of whole and juice of half
4 oz margarine

Method:

Mix together flour, cinnamon, sugar, almonds and orange rind. Rub in margarine. Add enough orange juice to make a soft, pliable dough. (Too much will make it tacky, so be careful here!) Grease an oven tray, and start warming oven to 180º C. Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface and roll out to just under 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes. Place shapes on oven tray and bake for 15 minutes. Check after 10 minutes to make sure that the biscuits are not toasting too much around the edges. Remove from oven, leave to cool for two minutes and then transfer biscuits to a clean cloth or cooling rack.

Mouth sized munchies!

Omnomnom! These come next! Pity I read this just as I had a batch of these on: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/25700/honey-bears---honey-and-cinnamon-biscuits.aspx (The recipe calls for 600 grammes of flour really, not 315 like it says.)
