Easy and Simple to make, yet delicious and simply irresistible.

 

Ingredients

  • 170g unsalted butter
  • 200g icing sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla essence
  • 375g plain flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2-3 tsp lemon zest

 

Method

  1. In the large bowl fitted with its chopping blade, mix all of the ingredients together until you have a soft paste like dough.
  2. On a lightly floured board, form the dough into a long roll of about 5cm diameter, and wrap in foil or clingfilm. Put into the fridge for aprox 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 160ºC.
  4. Using a sharp, fine knife, cut 5mm slices from the dough roll for the amount of biscuits you require. Any spare dough will freeze well. Lay on a non-stick baking tray or one lined with baking parchment.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Leave to cool on a rack.


For special occasions, cut out each biscuit with a cookie cutter to achieve even shapes.
