As Fibre enters it’s teenage years (yes, we are 13!) I would like to
sincerely thank all of our lovely clients and manufacturers for their
support and for making what we do, so enjoyable! Obviously, we
wouldn’t be here without you! We all know it’s been a challenging
year for the fashion industry so I hope you take some time during
the Christmas break, to relax and enjoy what it is you love doing
when you’re not working.
I’m off to Pambula with my family for a wholesome Aussie holiday
with my hubby and the boys… I hope you get to enjoy some time
with your loved ones also and we can’t wait to see you all next year…
hopefully rejuvenated and rested and ready to hit 2013 head on!
Till then, have a wonderfully happy and safe Christmas!

250g butter, room temperature
125g (3/4 cup) icing sugar mixture
1 tbsp finely grated orange rind
375g (2 1/2 cups) plain flour
2 tbsp milk
75g (1/2 cup) dried cranberries,
coarsely chopped
55g (1/3 cup) chopped unsalted
pistachio kernels
Use an electric beater to beat the
butter and sugar in a bowl until pale
and creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Add
the flour, custard powder and milk.
Stir until a soft dough forms. Turn
onto a well-floured surface and
bring together. Shape the dough
into a 28cm-long log. Wrap in
plastic wrap. Roll the dough in the
plastic wrap to shape evenly. Place
in the fridge for 4 hours or until
firm.
Preheat oven to 160ºC. Line 2
baking trays with non-stick baking
paper. Use a sharp knife in a
sawing motion to cut the log into
1cm-thick slices. Place on the
prepared trays. Bake, swapping
trays halfway through cooking, for
30 minutes or until the biscuits are
golden underneath. Set aside on
the trays to cool slightly before
transferring to a wire rack to cool
completely.
