Ingredients
  • 75g butter, cubed
  • 150g fine cornmeal/polenta
  • 75g plain gluten free flour (I used Doves Farm)
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Grated zest of 1 small orange
  • 1-2 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. Place the fine cornmeal and gluten free flour in medium bowl, add the butter and rub the butter into the flours (or you can use a food processor to do this)
  2. Lightly whisk the egg together with the orange zest and vanilla extract then add it to the bowl containing the flour and butter, add the sugar then mix together with a wooden spoon
  3. Add 1-2 tablespoons water to bring the mixture into a soft dough and form it into a ball, wrap it in cling film and place it in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm it slightly
  4. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan oven) and line a large baking sheet with parchment
  5. Remove the dough from the fridge and take approximately desert spoon sized pieces, roll them into balls then flatten them slightly between your hands (you should make about 20)
  6. Place them on the baking sheet and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden
  7. Cool on a wire rack
