Method
Step 1
Place the flour and butter in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively rub the butter into the flour by hand.
Ingredients for this step
- Allinson's plain white flour (175g)
- Butter (unsalted) (cold, cubed) (125g)
Step 2
Add the sugar and orange zest and pulse again or mix with a spoon until the mixture starts to get sticky. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead so that the dough comes together to form a smooth ball. Chill for 10 minutes.
Ingredients for this step
- Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar (50g)
- Orange (zest of) (1)
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
Step 4
Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface to the thickness of about 5mm, pressing it together if it cracks a bit. Cut out with 16 x 6cm/5cm cutters, re-rolling the dough until it has all been used. Cut out a smaller round shape out of half the rounds.
Step 5
Lay the biscuits on the baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until pale golden. Remove, transfer to a wire rack and leave until cold.
Step 6
Place the icing sugar and strawberry flavouring into a large bowl and mix in 1 tbsp warm water. Add the butter and mix together with a blender or whisk until light and fluffy. Spread the icing over the full biscuits and top with a thin layer of jam then the remaining biscuits. Leave to set for 30 minutes and then enjoy.
