Almond, Orange and Pine Nut Biscuits

Despite this awful weather we are having I'm determined to bring you some easter/spring inspired recipes. My recipe today is a lovely biscuit with wonderful fresh flavours (inspired by Spain)
Almond, Orange and Pine Nut Biscuits...easy to make and easy to eat haha :))

Almond, Orange and Pine Nut Biscuits

240g plain flour
125g ground almonds
Zest of 1 orange
200g salted butter
125g caster sugar
2 egg yolks
25g toasted pine nuts (more if you wanted)

Put the flour, ground almonds, orange zest and butter in a food processor and whizz until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, egg yolks and whizz to a dough. Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead in the toasted pine nuts very gently or you can keep the dough in the food processor and whizz so the pine nuts are finely chopped. Shape into a log, Wrap in cling film and chill for an hour.
Heat the oven to 180C/160c fan. Cut the dough into biscuits and arrange on a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes and allow to cool on the baking sheet. (Due to the ground almonds they are fairly soft at first so allow to cool thoroughly.)

You can of course replace the orange with some lemon zest for a sharper fresher taste :)
