	Orange Butter

		ORANGE BUTTER BISCUITS 250g butter grated rind of 1 orange 1 cup icing sugar 2 cups sifted flour 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup sugar rind of 1 orange 1/4 cup strained orange juice 30g butter Preheat oven to 180 C. Beat the butter and grated rind until creamy. Add icing sugar and beat well. Stir in flour and combine. Roll level teaspoons of the mixture into balls and place on ungreased oven trays. Press down with a fork dipped in cold water (to prevent sticking) to flatten mixture into round discs. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until light coloured. Cool on rack. Store in an airtight container. To Make Orange Butter: Place eggs with sugar, rind (I cut the rind in strips and removed them after cooking), juice and butter in a saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until thick. DO NOT BOIL. This takes about 10 minutes. Cool completely, stirring occasionally. Before serving join biscuits with orange butter. Makes 20 pairs. Note: Keep the shortbread in an airtight tin and the butter in the refrigerator. Join together only as many as you intend to use at a time.
