Bridal Shower Food : Sweet Orange Creams
Ingredients
- 1lb powdered sugar (icing sugar)
- A grated rind of a small orange
- The juice of one orange
- Half a teaspoon of lemon juice
Procedure
Crush any lumps in the powdered sugar then add the lemon juice,
the grated orange rind and some of the orange juice. You will need
to use your hands to mix everything together; if you think the mixture
needs it, this is the time to add a little more orange juice, carefully
adding just a little at a time, now sprinkle some powdered sugar
on to a flat surface, this will prevent the mixture from sticking
to the surface, and knead the mixture until it looks smooth and
even.
Using your rolling-pin roll out the mixture until it’s as
thick as you would like your sweets to be, about three sixteenths
of an inch is an approximate guide. You may like your sweets thicker
or thinner.
Using a small round sweet sized cutter, cut out your sweet orange
creams When you have cut out all your sweets arrange them on parchment
paper and allow them to dry on one side, you will need a little
patience, then turn them over and allow the other side of your sweets
to dry.
If you need to pack away your sweet orange creams it’s a
good idea to make sure you put some parchment paper between the
layers of sweets as this will prevent them from sticking to each
other. For that extra special touch you could put your sweets into
little individual sweet cases.
