## Steps

1. For the light dough: mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and vanilla powder, then rub in the butter with your fingertips or two knives until it forms fine crumbs. (5 min)
2. Beat the egg, add half to the dough, mix and bring together into a ball, adding a little cold water if needed — the dough should be smooth, with no dry crumbs. (3 min)
3. Leave the light dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. (60 min)
4. For the dark dough: mix the flour, cinnamon, cocoa, orange zest, baking powder and brown sugar, then rub in the butter with your fingertips or two knives until it forms fine crumbs. (5 min)
5. Bring the dark dough together with the second half of the egg, adding a little cold water or orange juice if needed — the dough should be smooth, with no dry crumbs. (3 min)
6. Leave the dark dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. (60 min)
7. Roll out both doughs into rectangles on a lightly floured surface, brush one layer with beaten egg, lay the second layer on top and roll up into a log from the short side. (10 min)
8. Put the log in the fridge for 1 hour. (60 min)
9. Slice the log into thin biscuits just under ½ cm thick and arrange on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving a little space between them. (5 min)
10. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 175°C for about 15 minutes. (15 min)
11. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. (15 min)
