Lemon Biscuits

Ingredients

 

325g Plain Flour

150g Unsalted Butter

125g Caster Sugar

 

1 Egg Yolk

100g Icing Sugar

Zest and Juice of 1 Lemon

 

 

Preheat the oven to 180/Fan 160/Gas Mark 4.

Grease and line baking tins with greaseproof paper

 

Rub the flour and butter together with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Stir in the sugar, lemon zest, half the lemon juice and the egg yolk and bring together into a dough.

If it needs more moisture, add a couple of drops of water until it comes together

 

Cut the dough in half and roll one half out on a floured surface to about 5mm thick. Using biscuit cutters, cut the dough into shape and put them on to the prepared baking trays. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

 

Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the biscuits are golden. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and mix with the remaining lemon juice until you get a runny icing. Drizzle the lemon icing oer the biscuits
