Crispy and delicious Orange And Honey Shortbread recipe! Perfect for the festive period, this delicious shortbread recipe with a twist will become your new family favorite.
The orange works so well with the buttery-sugary shortbread, honestly, you need to try this combo so you can fully understand what we mean. The honey adds an amazing addition and sweetness to the table.
We used a very sweet honey, which gave this shortbread the sweetness it needed.
Shortbread can be a lot of fun to make because you can cut out any desired shapes you like. It’s particularly great to do it with kids since they will have a lot of fun cutting shapes out of the shortbread dough.
COVID doesn’t seem to be going away, and if you are looking for things to do at home with the kids, this recipe is ideal.
How To Make Orange And Honey Shortbread:
You will need:
1. Good Quality Butter
2. Plain Flour/All-Purpose Flour
3. Sugar
4. Fresh Orange Zest
5. Honey
The method is the same as you would make regular shortbread, the only difference is, that you will need to add the orange zest and honey.
The shortbread is cut using your desired cookie cutters. We kept ours quite simple and small-ish.
The shortbread is then baked on lower heat – for not very long. You have to remember, that you have the extra sweetness (the honey), and sugar accelerates the baking process because the sugar caramelizes.
Once the orange and honey shortbread cookies are baked, make sure you cool them slightly on the baking sheet, so they can harden.
