Lemon Biscuits

Ingredients

How to make Lemon Biscuits

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 165oC/ 330oF and lightly oil 2 – 3 baking trays.
  2. Cream butter and sugar together, then add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and stir together with a wooden spoon.  It will be slightly crumbly, but with a bit of kneading and perhaps a teaspoon or two of cold water, you will get a light paste.
  3. Lightly flour a surface and roll out to about ½ cm thick and cut into shapes. 
  4. Put the shapes on the baking trays and bake for 7 – 10 minutes, but watch them carefully as they will suddenly be cooked.  We used an Aga and found that the back of the tray cooked very quickly and some got burnt the first time around.
  5. Remove from oven when just turning golden, then leave to cool a bit before carefully transferring to a wire cooking rack.  Sprinkle with icing sugar in a tea strainer.
