Ingredients
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
150g golden caster sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 large orange
2 large free-range egg yolks
50g ground almonds
50g plain chocolate, chopped
50g white chocolate, chopped
225g self-raising flour
2 tbsp milk, for brushing
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until creamy.
2. Stir in the orange zest, egg yolks, almonds, plain and white chocolate and flour. Mix well, then shape into 12 equal-sized balls.
