Finely grated zest of 1 organic orange
15 ml cream
250 g plain flour

Cream together the butter/margarine and icing sugar. Mix in the egg. Add the orange zest and cream. Work in the flour. Put the dough into a piping bag and pipe 60 swirls using a star-shaped piping nozzle. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Place the “roses” on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the centre of the oven at just under175°C for about 10 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
