Lemon Butter Biscuits

I'm finally home for Christmas! It's so nice being back and seeing my family again! And having a nice warm house and all the other home comforts :)

Easy Lemon Butter Biscuits Recipe

I decided to make these Lemon Butter Biscuits as they're a favourite of ours that we make once in a while :) I didn't think to double the recipe straightaway (something we always do with English recipes) oh and I was lucky as they rose and luckily they didn't merge together. They're super quick and easy to make and you can have fun with whatever shapes you have, I decided on stars, hearts and flowers :)

Ingredients:

175g butter
75g sugar
175 plain flour
75g cornflour
Lemon (rind and juice)
Icing Sugar

Method:

  1. Whisk the butter and sugar together.
  2. Sift in both flours (who even sifts) and mix together with a wooden spoon.
  3. Add in zest or lemon (you could probably try with orange instead)
  4. Roll out onto a lightly floured surface.
  5. Cut shapes and put on a baking tray
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and firm to touch.
  7. Take out of oven and leave to cool down.
  8. Mix icing sugar and lemon to make icing, I did it roughly, so some of the icing was a bit runny XD
  9. Drizzle icing on your biscuits or decorate accordingly.
  10. Tadaaaa! You may now eat your biscuits!
