Recipe Notes
Jo’s Tips
- This is a very adaptable recipe. You can use olive/sunflower oil, fresh/ store-bought orange juice, white/brown sugar, Cognac/brandy or even whiskey.
- For best results let you dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
- To avoid soggy biscuits transfer to a cooling rack as soon as they’re out of the oven.
