Looking for an Orange Pastry recipe

Asked on 13 Oct 2016 by Miguel

A long time ago I downloaded Delia's orange pastry recipe. I have recently had a lot of trouble accessing the site and Noreen has helped a lot. I am now back on but cannot find the recipe for orange pastry. Can you tell me where it is? I have looked under 'pastry',' orange' and 'orange pastry' but no results.

Thank you.

Hello Michael,

Delia has orange cakes, biscuits and desserts but nothing that she would describe as a pastry.

Perhaps you could give us more detail and we might be able to give you a more accurate answer.

It may be that it wasn’t a Delia recipe but that is was a community recipe. We no longer have access to those recipes but some of the community members have joined a facebook group called The Delia Connection and if it is a community recipe there is a chance that the person who originally posted it or another like-minded member took a note of the recipe and will be able to share it with you there.

Kind regards

Lindsey

Hello Lindsey, thank you for replying so quickly. I am convinced that it was one of her recipes - but then again I'm getting old!

It was for mince pies as I recall. I also checked under Delia's mince pies but no luck.

I'll look elsewhere just in case my addled brain got it wrong.

By the way - the orange pastry is so delicious.

Thanks again

Michael

OK Lindsey, I found it, you were right and I was wrong (ain't that always the truth?). It was a BBC Good Food recipe.

Thanks again and sorry to have troubled you unnecessarily.
