0 Likes
Total Time:
30 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 150 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 200 g plain flour
  • 50 g golden caster sugar plus extra to sprinkle
  • 1 orange
  • 50 g quality dark chocolate (70%)
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5 and prepare a 20cm square baking tin by greasing and lining it with greaseproof paper. 2. In a bowl, combine butter, flour, sugar, and finely grated zest of half an orange by rubbing the mixture with your fingers until a dough forms. Press the dough into the lined tin to create a 1cm-thick layer. Prick it with a fork and bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden. 3. Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the warm shortbread once baked and let it cool. 4. While the shortbread is cooling, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cut shortbread pieces and grate the remaining orange zest over the top. 5. Cut the shortbread into 12 finger portions, transfer to a wire rack to cool, and serve with orange slices on the side.
