Step 2: Place a medium sized pot over a medium heat, add the butter and sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved, then pour in the orange syrup.
Step 3: Once this mixture is well combined, pour in the egg yolks and continue to stir over the medium heat until the mix coats the back of a wooden spoon and has reached 84C to 86C.
Step 4: Remove from the heat and pass through a fine strainer. Place into a clean bowl and put the bowl into the fridge to cool and set.
Step 5: Preheat a fan forced oven to 220C.
Step 6: Place the pastry discs into a cup cake mould then line with baking paper and weigh down with baking beads.
