Linseed and orange biscuits

Here comes some nice little biscuits that I originally made to come with an India dessert. They are also very good with tea or coffee.

The idea of mixing linseeds and orange came from some biscuits I bought in an organic shop with a mix of flavor from orange biscuits that I bought at my work place.

I like to eat some of those biscuits for breakfast, doing like French use to do with croissant: dipping it into the hot coffee.
