A delicious little treat, the orange zest in these giving them a lovely tang.
Using a hand held mixer, cream the butter, icing sugar and cornflour until light and fluffy.
Add the milk, salt and orange rind, and continue to beat.
Add the flour into the bowl and mix together thoroughly with a spoon, adding more milk if necessary to attain a consistency suitable for piping.
Pipe into desired shapes (piping bag + large star nose). Place in fridge/freezer to allow the butter to cool before baking.
Bake in a moderate oven (180° C / 350° F / Gas Mark 4) for 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Allow to cool before decorating.
Decorate with melted chocolate, sprinkles and crushed nuts as desired.
