Orange & ginger stained glass biscuits Recipe
Orange & ginger stained glass biscuits is a Easy biscuit recipe for 4 - 8 people, takes only 20 mins; recipe has sunflower oil, plain flour and ginger.
Ingredients
- Milk - 1 tbsp milk
- Butter - 100g butter, cold, cut into chunks
- Sunflower Oil - sunflower oil, for greasing
- Orange - zest 1 orange
- Ginger - 1 tsp ground ginger
- Plain Flour - 175g plain flour, plus extra
- Golden Caster Sugar - 50g golden caster sugar
- Icing Sugar - icing sugar, to dust
- Ribbon - about 120cm thin ribbon, to decorate
- Sweet - 12 fruit-flavoured boiled sweets
Instructions
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease 2 large non-stick baking sheets with oil. Whizz the flour, ginger, zest and butter with 1/2 tsp salt to fine crumbs in a food processor. Pulse in the sugar and milk, then turn out and knead briefly on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in cling film, then chill for about 30 mins.
- Flour the work surface again, then roll out the dough to the thickness of a PS1 coin. Use 7cm cutters to cut out shapes, then use 4cm cutters to cut out the middles. Re-roll leftover pieces. Make a hole in the top of each biscuit, then carefully lift onto the baking sheets.
- Crush the sweets in their wrappers with a rolling pin, then put the pieces into the middles of the biscuits - the sweets should be level with the top of the dough. Bake for 15-20 mins or until the biscuits are golden brown and the middles have melted.
- Leave to harden, then transfer to a rack to cool. Thread with ribbon, then dust with icing sugar. Will keep for a month, but best eaten within 3 days.
