Top Tip
If you fancy jazzing them up for Christmas, try using an orange in place of the lemons and add a pinch of cinnamon to your demerara – lovely and festive!
Method
These little lemon biscuits are so delicious and easy – you'll never need to buy biccies again!
- Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
- Beat in the egg until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the flour, lemon zest (save the juice for another day), baking powder and a pinch of sea salt, then mix until you have a ball of dough. Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hours, or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ½cm thick. Cut out shapes and place on a tray lined with greaseproof paper.
- Sprinkle with demerara sugar and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then tuck in!
