Speculative venture with biscuits

 

Orange & Speculaas Biscuits

 I've been trying out Speculaas Spice mix with more recipes. I used it for Orange and Cinnamon Biscuits instead of Cinnamon. It makes the flavour is even more intense. 

What you need 

Orange & Speculaas Biscuits 

2 tsps Speculaas spice mix

8oz/225g self raising flour

4oz/110g butter

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp golden syrup

1oz/25g soft brown sugar

1 egg beaten

Zest and juice of 1 orange

Sift the flour into a bowl and mix in the cinnamon. Melt the butter, honey, golden syrup in a pan with the sugar. Allow to cool slightly and then add this to the flour. Add the beaten egg and then the orange zest and juice. Mix well to combine. Place small teaspoonfuls of the mixture on baking trays about 5 cms/2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven  180C/Mark 4/350F for 10-12 minutes until brown at the edges. The mixture makes around 30 biscuits.

Meryl’s tip : These biscuits are very tempting and keep well for a few days  if you can resist! And try Grandma's Overnight Cake with Speculaas Spice Mix. Let me know what you think.
