Orange cream biscuit is one thing that my sisters love having with their tea. Its one of those biscuits that disappears easily when they are around. Indian store sells them and my sisters are its biggest customers. So I decided to make this for them during Christmas and pleasantly surprised that I came up with a product that had 100% the same taste minus the cream in between. Anyway, my verdict was not enough for me, I had to give it to the pros and ask them what they thought of it.They said it was even better without the cream because they can have more of it. All these results were great, what amazed me was I mailed these to my sister in Chicago after 18 days and she said that it was crunchy and fresh. Though, I am not a great fan of orange cream biscuit, this was one of my food experiments.
