Vegan Orange Shortbread Fingers

Submitted by ABounD

"Very simple, very quick, absolutely delicious orangey shortbread. I used Pure brand dairy free margarine and was surprised at how well they turned out, (no obvious margarine taste). This recipe came from Vegan Recipes, edited by Nicola Graimes and published by Southwater."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 12-16 fingers

ingredients

• 115 g vegan margarine
• 50 g caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
• 2 oranges, rind of
• 175 g organic unbleached white flour

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
2. Beat the margarine and sugar together until soft and creamy. Beat in the finely grated orange rind.
3. Gradually add the sifted flour and gently pull the dough together to form a soft ball. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until about 1cm/1/2inch thick. Cut into fingers, sprinkle a little extra sugar if you wish (I don't), prick with a fork and bake for about 20 minutes or until the shortbread fingers are a light golden colour.
