  I have made this recipe several times - everybody wants to know the recipe and can't believe they are gluten-free.

  Forgot to make biscuits thin so looked more like ordinary shortbread. Used orange juice to mix to dough as wouldn't hold together without. Kept well in plastic container. Tasted best when served with syllabub and summer fruits. 3 stars only as visitor with gluten intolerance wasn't too impressed with the shortbread generally, but loved my cooking otherwise.

  I made this recipe not expecting such a lovely taste really nicer than ordinary shortbread, a lot more delicate and crumbly but we all loved it. This recipe is to be family favourite from now on and I can see me making these biscuits regularly quick and easy and tastes so good, I had a job to keep them for just me who is the only member o family on a gluten free diet, my daughter even gave her friend some to take home to let her mum taste them!!

  really enjoyed them although think next time will use some of the orange juice as well as it was a bit crumbly but also you couldnt really taste the orange. Very quick and easy to make will make again for sure

  Being a coeliac is a pain not least that what we cook for ourselves is eaten by everyone else b4 we try them !! This recipe is no exception....seems they were successful as all gone. Also done a batch with lemon curd and 25g sugar...also a success!!

  Tasted great - try using lemons instead of oranges works really well, stacked them for dessert with strawberries and natural yoghurt, delicious!

  I work in a community centre so we have customers who are on a gluten free diet so I have made these to give away with a cup of coffee. They are delicious and well received by everyone.

  I made these last week. Didnt use gluton free ingredients though and worked really well with plain flour instead. Everyone loved them and I had to make more.

  I tried this recipe as per instructions (zest only) and per blog suggestion (with juice). Both were fab. Very crumbly/ melt in the mouth texture. Zest only are good to shape with cutters if you're patient. Juice added ones are almost impossible to shape with cutters but make very tasty biscuits.

  I've made these biscuits once before - at Christmas - and added a teaspoon of cinnamon, drew a small star on them and added a hole to hang as a lovely, edible tree decoration. They went down so well and I forgot about the recipe for a while and today suddenly realised how delicious and easy they were so I am going to make them again but probably triple the portions! Work just as well with plain flour and the addition of cinnamon is very yummy - not just in the festive season!
