It's the end of the orange season so make the most of it with this yummy recipe - and it's gluten-free too!

  • 100g (3½oz) polyunsaturated margarine, softened

  • 50g (1¾oz) caster sugar

  • 100g (3½oz) rice flour

  • 100g (3½oz) cornflour

  • 50g (1¾oz) good quality chocolate (gluten-free if desired)

  • Grated rind of 1 orange

     

Method
  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas mark 4.
  • Place the margarine and sugar into a large bowl and beat together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients until well combined.
  • Press into an 18 x 28cm (7 x 11in) tin and bake for 20 mins until golden. Then, mark into 12 squares and cool completely before removing from the tin.

Tanya tip: It's easier to remove the shortbread from the tin once it has cooled down because it becomes less crumbly.
