These biscuits are really easy to make and are perfect to serve with coffee to your guests - Light shortbread with just a hint of almond and lemon!Ingredients
200g Plain flour
50g Caster sugar
75g Ground almonds
175g Unsalted butter, softened
Grated zest of 1 Lemon
Icing sugar, to decorate
Method
Preheat oven to 160°C (about 140°C fan oven).
Rub flour, butter, ground almonds and sugar together until the mix resembles breadcrumbs. Add the lemon zest and bring the mix together like a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
When chilled roll out the dough thinly approx 4mm (I do this between two pieces of clingfilm as it stops any sticking) Cut your biscuits out of the dough using a small cutter - as a matter of preference I like to use a smooth edged one.
Place on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes until biscuits are just turning a very light golden colour.
Cool on a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
