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.
