The Man and I made this recipe from the Skinny Bitch, The Ultimate Every Day Cookbook during the Valentine’s weekend. It was a super sexy-fun night because we made it together and I love cooking with my man—he gets so excited that it’s contagious. We wanted to go all glam and make them 100% organic, but we couldn’t. Our closest stores did not have a ton of organic produce; we even went to three different stores looking for organic oranges. We tried.

This recipe is super easy and so tasty. You can pretend to be English and make some black tea with it.

Ingredients:

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 cup evaporated can sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon orange extract

1 tablespoon orange zest, grated

1/2 cup Earth Balance at room temperature

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, leaving the butter out. Once everything is all well combined add the butter. Lightly flour a flat surface and knead the dought for a bout a minute. Form the dough into a ball and then shape into a small pizza crust shape, lightly flattening down the dough into the desired thickness. Cut them in squares, triangles, or whatever you wish. Since it was the Valentines’s weekend we made them heart shaped, soooooo ADORABLE! Yeah, I am screaming! Place them all in a baking sheet and using a brush, cover the dough with some orange juice and then sprinkle some sugar on top of it.  Bake for 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

And then you got some amazing mates for your favorite tea!
