Notes
Orange and olive oil biscuit: extract orange is optional. You can omit.
Glaze: the temperature of the glaze is a suggestion.
Try with the back of a spoon: if the glaze covers it well, the temperature is right, otherwise let cool if too runny, or heat a few seconds if too thick.
wow!
thank you so much
