Method

1
Preheat your oven to 160c and line a baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar for a couple of minutes, or until light and fluffy.
2
Add the orange extract or zest, followed by the Rowse Dark & Rich honey. Beat this into the butter and sugar. Then, add the egg. Gently fold in your dry ingredients and form a ball.
3
Refrigerate for an hour.
4
Roll out onto a floured surface until 1/4cm thick and cut out your shapes.
5
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
6
In the meantime, make the royal icing. Add all your ingredients into a bowl and beat with a hand whisk until thick. Cover with cling film to avoid it crusting over.
7
Pipe your decoration onto your biscuits, and serve!
