Lemon biscuits for Christmas. I find lemon biscuits perfect for all periods of the year and various occasions. Christmas is no exception. So here is the recipe for these soft and fragrant biscuits, in the Christmas version.
Lemon biscuits for Christmas
Ingredients:
- 100g soft butter
- 260g flour 00
- 2 lemons
- 100g sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 sachet of baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
Directions:
- Begin to blend the softened butter with the sugar, until you get a cream.
- Then add the egg, zest and lemon juice. I recommend using untreated lemons to make sure the rind is not harmful.
- Stir again and then add the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt (optional)
- Knead well, first with a fork and then with your hands. The mixture will be soft. At the end you will have to form a ball, cover it with cling film and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- When the dough has hardened, remove from the refrigerator and roll out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 0.5cm
- Make the cookies with a Christmas cookie cutter and then bake in a static oven at 180° C for 12-15 minutes. The biscuits should be slightly golden, but not too dark.
- Let it cool before putting it in a bag or, even better, in a tin box. They must be consumed within a week.
