Servings

Ingredients

  • 100 g butter, softened
  • 50 g icing sugar, sifted
  • 125 g plain flour
  • 1 grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 170ºC/Gas Mark 3. Line two baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
2
Cream together the butter and sugar. Sift in the flour and mix in with the grated lemon zest. Work in the lemon juice and mix again to form a stiff biscuit mix.
3
Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle and pipe small swirls onto a baking sheet, well-spaced apart as they do spread. When you lift up the nozzle from piping each swirl, use a knife to trim the biscuit mixture neatly.
4
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked. Leave to cool on the baking sheet for about a minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
