Ingredients

  • 2 ounces unsalted butter
  • 3 1/2 ounces light muscovado sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 orange (rind and 2 tsp juice)
  • 6 ounces self raising flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 2 ounces polenta

Method

  • Preheat the oven to gas 3/160°C/325°F.
  • Grease a baking sheet.
  • Beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat int the egg, then the orange rind, juice, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and polenta.
  • Tip the mixture on to a lightly floured surface and knead. Place dough on the baking sheet and flatten with the palm of your hand to make a rectangle approx 25 x 18 cm.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5 mins until slightly cooled. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the mixture widthways into thin sticks about 1 cm wide.
  • Space the cookies out slightly on the baking sheet, then bake for a further 20 minutes until crisp.
  • When cool, dust with icing sugar.
