Orange Spirals This recipe came from The Waitrose website. Enjoy... Ingredients: 900g plain white flour large pinch of salt 3 tsp baking powder 170g butter, cubed 55g sugar 1 orange, zest grated 3 eggs 400ml milk Orange Butter 170g butter, softened 2 large oranges, zest finely grated 200g powdered sugar Glaze eggwash (1 egg whisked with a pinch of salt) granulated sugar     Directions: Preheat oven to 450°F. First make the orange butter. Cream the butter with the orange zest. Sift in the icing sugar and beat until fluffy.   Sieve the flour, salt and baking powder into a large, wide bowl. Add the butter and rub in lightly, using your thumb and fingertips, until the mix resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sugar and orange zest. Make a well in the center. Whisk the eggs with the milk, add to the dry ingredients and mix to a soft dough. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Lightly shape into a rectangle and roll out to about 2 cm thick. Spread the soft orange butter over the surface. Roll up lengthwise and cut into slices about 3 cm thick. Put cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with eggwash and dip in granulated sugar. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve when still slightly warm.
