Question – what would Bintu’s alternative take on the traditional spiced Easter biscuits involve? Answers anyone? Would it involve orange zest – like in these orange spiced almond muffins. Would it have a little bit of red in it – she is obsessed with all things red after all. Cardamom? Coconut? Rice? – bet if she can work these in she will.
Of course I am working on cardamom and coconut versions of these. But for this Easter, it is all about orange zest and cranberries. Because I am a fan of speckly biscuits, I add the cranberries into the food processor so that they got chopped to ity bity bits. Just the way I like them. If you prefer them whole, then take the biscuit dough out of the food processor just before adding them in.
Both mini chefs love help making these – though I am not sure if it to do with pressing start and stop on the food processor (eldest), and rolling the dough (both). But they are happy and I am happy and we got Easter covered. So we will be celebrate Easter 2014 with these orange spiced cranberry Easter biscuits. How about you? Cardamom cranberry pistachio sables.
