Recipe (makes 22-40; it depends on the size)

Mixture

  • 175 gr softened unsalted butter
  • 50 gr caster sugar
  • 50 gr icing sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 300 gr plain flour

To decorate/topping

  • zest and juice 1 orange
  • 140 gr icing sugar , sifted
  • sugar strands

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

Mix the butter, sugars, egg yolks and vanilla with a wooden spoon until creamy, then mix in the flour in 2 batches.

Stir in the orange zest.

Roll the dough into small balls and sit on baking sheets.

Bake for 15 mins until golden, then leave to cool.

Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with enough orange juice to make a thick, runny icing.

Dip each biscuit half into the icing, then straight into the sprinkles.

Dry on a wire rack.

Raw dough or un-iced baked biscuits can be frozen.
