Orange Shortbread Fingers
(makes 18)
115g softened butter
50g caster sugar (plus a little extra for sprinkling)
Finely grated rind of 2 oranges
175g plain flour
Preheat the oven to 190 C (Gas 5)
Beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Mix in the orange rind and then gradually add the flour and form into a dough.
Roll out on a lightly floured board until about 1cm thick. Cut into fingers, sprinkle over a little extra sugar, prick with a fork and then bake for about 20 mins on a greased baking sheet, until the fingers are a light golden colour.
We've made these into stars etc, rather than fingers, since its Christmas!

), so we told her we'd make some when we got home, which she then did, and sat and ate the lot (about a lb) in one sitting! She's never tried baking before, so guess whats going to be a part of her Yule prezzies this year!
