25g/1oz flour
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons finely grated orange rind

2. Mix the flour and salt into the butter until there are no lumps and the mixture is quite smooth.
3. Then very slowly pour in the orange juice, beating well all the time. Once you have a
lovely, smooth mixture, add the sugar and orange rind to the mixture.
4. In a separate bowl beat the egg yolks and very slowly pour the orange juice mixture into the egg yolks, whisking all the ingredients together well until the egg yolks are
incorporated into the mixture. Pour everything back into the saucepan. This is all done cool with no heat.
5. Place the saucepan on the hob and, stirring all the time, cook until thick and flour is
thickened and cooked out so that the filling does not taste of uncooked starch.
6. Using an icing bag and nozzle, poke the side of the cupcake with the nozzle and squeeze the filling into each cupcake.
7. Top with lemon drizzle icing.
