Anise Myrtle & Orange Shortbread Biscuits

To me, shortbread is so reminiscent of my childhood and always reminds me of Christmas time. For this edition, I decided to have a little play around with our Native spice, Anise Myrtle for something a little different. When thinking of this recipe and the flavours of Aniseed mixing with the buttery, crumbling shortbread, I knew I had to add in their mutual best friend, orange. I use orange blossom water that you can usually find in most specialty supermarkets or the gourmet aisle of your local, but you can, of course, use orange juice if you don’t have it.

Serve with a cup of tea and you have yourself a perfect afternoon with a little Aussie twist!
