Ingredients
- 200g Soft Butter
- 140g Whitworths Caster Sugar
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Zest 2 Lemons, juice 1
- 280g Plain flour, plus a little extra for rolling
- 140g Whitworths Icing Sugar, sifted
- 1 Jar Cottage Delight All Butter Lemon Curd (Purchase All Butter Lemon Curd Online | Cottage Delight)
- 200g Whitworths Fondant Icing Sugar
Directions
- Stir together the butter, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and zest from 1 lemon using a wooden spoon.
- Mix in the flour, using your hands or a food processor until breadcrumb consistency.
- Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and bring together into a smooth dough. Then roll out to 1cm thick and cut out circles using your cookie cutter. Then cut some in half. Keep re-rolling trimmings.
- Arrange on trays lined with baking parchment, cover with cling film and chill for 25-30 mins.
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas.
- Bake the biscuits for 8-12 minutes until pale golden, then cool.
- Once cool, spread a covering of lemon curd onto the biscuit and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the fondant icing sugar with water and scrape into a piping bag with a number 1 round tip.
- Once the biscuits have chilled again, pipe your lemon design onto the biscuits and leave to dry before enjoying.
