Orange and Saffron Biscuits
2. Beat the eggs with the orange zest and add to the crumble. Mix and work until just combined into a dough. 3. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least an hour before rolling out. This can be prepared a day ahead. Roll into the desired thickness and cut. I cut them into flowers and filled them with home-made marmalade into which I mixed with some saffron. 4. Place the prepared biscuits onto baking sheets and bake in a hot oven, set on 160°C (180 if not fan operated) for about 8 minutes or until done. Cool on a wire rack.
