Extremely simple and slightly unusual cookie type biscuits, with the polenta giving a fantastic crunch. Great with ice-cream, chocolatey things or simply with a cup of coffee.

Jamie's Orange and Polenta Biscuits/Cookies

 

6 oz butter

6 oz sugar

9 oz polenta

3 3/4 oz plain flour

zest of 2–3 oranges, finely chopped

2 large free-range eggs, or organic eggs

 

 

 

Rub the butter, sugar, polenta and flour together before mixing in the orange

zest and the eggs. Cover with clingfilm and put in the fridge for an hour until

slightly firm. Place a large square of greaseproof paper on a baking tray and

spoon small teaspoons of the mixture in lines 5cm/2 inches apart.. Bake in a

preheated oven at 190°C/375°F/gas 5 for around 5 to 6 minutes until the

outside edges of your biscuits are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and

allow to cool for 15 minutes before eating.

 

This method makes around 25 biscuits.
