Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

Whisk together the egg, egg yolk and sugar until thick and pale.

Add the oil to the egg and sugar mixture. Sift in the flour and spice. Add the almonds and orange zest.

Combine until a dough forms.

Roll and press ½ tablespoons of the mixture into balls. Dust your hands lightly with some extra plain flour if the dough is too sticky. Arrange balls on the baking trays, flattening them slightly as you place them down.

Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. These biscuits become quite crisp so try not to over bake them.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on wire racks.
