Ingredients

• The skin of 4 organic oranges

Preparation

1. We wash the oranges well, dry them and peel them. We remove most of the pericarp (the white skin) leaving only the orange skin.

2. To dehydrate them in the oven:
   
   We line a baking tray with baking paper and put all the pieces of skin on top. Bake at 60º, moving them from time to time, until the pieces are crisp and easy to break.

3. To dehydrate them in the dehydrator:
   
   We distribute the pieces of skin on one or more trays depending on the size of the appliance. We dehydrate following the manufacturer's instructions.
   In my case I had to use several trays and they were there for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

4. Once dehydrated we put them in the Thermomix glass and spray during 15 seconds, speed 10. We wait a few seconds before opening the lid for the powder to settle.

5. It is ready to use or to store in a well clean and dry container.

When making this recipe it is essential that the skin has been treated as little as possible. That's why the oranges must be organic, without wax and without chemicals.

Has a flavor so intense and delicious that leaves its fragrance in the jars and on the lids. So imagine how delicious the pastry you make with it will be.

It is ideal for use in the kitchen in general, especially in confectionery for biscuit doughs, cookies, muffins and muffins. But also to give an extra point of flavor to the roscon de reyes or to sweet breads.

When it comes to using it, it's great because we always have it on hand and ready to be used. Without having to rush to the corner store to buy an orange and without staining the grater and other utensils.

To give you an idea, a small spoonful of powdered orange peel equals to a whole grated orange.

In addition to the orange powder you can also make the lemon powder or citrus mixing lime, orange, tangerine, grapefruit and lemon peel.

To preserve all its qualities it is better that you always keep the tightly closed boat and if it can be in a dark and well ventilated place. This way it will last you longer.

To prepare this recipe I have used a dehydrator although it is not essential. Mine is very basic, so much so that it only has the on / off button. It cannot be adjusted in temperature or time. Even so, it perfectly fulfills its objective. And, although I don't use it much, when I do it always gives me very good result.

There are many models on the market. From the basic ones, like mine, to authentic professional dehydrators. If you like the world of the dehydrated It is a good investment but keep in mind that they take up a good space.
