Method

1. To make the pastry, put the butter, icing sugar and flour into a food processor and pulse until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg and half the orange zest and pulse until the pastry just comes together into a ball. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a flat circle. Wrap tightly in clingfilm and chill for 30 mins.  

2. Halve the dough and save one half for another time (see tip below). Roll out the remaining half of pastry on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a pound coin. Cut out 12 circles with an 8cm fluted cutter and lightly press into a muffin tin. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork.
