These delightful biscuits are irresistible and so simple to make.
175g plain flour
1 lemon, grated zest only
110g soft butter
50g sugar
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4
Combine the flour and lemon rind in a mixing bowl and rub in the softened butter.
Add the caster sugar and mix well to form a firm dough. Don’t be tempted to add any water to the mixture, it should look dry. Roll out the dough until about ½ cm thickness and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter.
Transfer to a baking tray and bake for about 6-10 minutes until they are a pale golden colour and light to the touch.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Dust with icing sugar if desired.
