Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Fresh orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the egg, orange zest, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into small balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly press each ball down with the back of a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden. Do not overbake.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the orange glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled biscuits or dip each biscuit's top into the glaze for an extra citrusy finish.
Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
