| Biscuits | 8 oz | Self Raising Flour |
| 4 oz | Margarine | |
| 2 oz | Caster Sugar | |
| 1 | Egg | |

Method
Using the K beater rub the fats into the flour and mix in the sugar and grated orange rind. Stir in the beaten egg to form a smooth dough. The dough should be firmer than a short crust pastry dough.
Roll out on a floured board and cut into shapes. Place on a greased baking tray and prick the shapes with a fork.
Bake in a moderate oven 350F - 375F for 25 minutes. Leave on the tin to cool and then lift them off onto a wire rack.
Make the icing by adding orange juice and egg white, a little at a time. The icing should be quite stiff. Sandwich the biscuits with icing and put a little icing on top. Decorate with crystallized orange peel.
