Lemon biscuits
Instructions
Tips
If you feel like your biscuits always get flat and spread out in the oven, consider some chilling time in the fridge. Chill the dough balls in the fridge for about 15 minutes before baking. This solidifies the butter, meaning less spreading when they bake.
Tips
The biscuits keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. If you prefer them crisp, keep them out of the fridge.

Enjoy these easy lemon biscuits
Small, tempting, and with a classic fork pattern on top, these lemon biscuits are the perfect example of an easy recipe with an irresistible outcome. If you love the sweetness of a simple butter biscuit, this recipe with a citrusy touch is a must-try. The biscuits offer a balance of flavour and simplicity that is sure to please everybody.
A delightful bite with a fresh lemony kick
In a simple, delicate biscuit like this, texture is everything. You want a tender, loose crumb with a slight crunch, and these biscuits have just that. Infused with the vibrant, tangy essence of lemon juice and zest, they show how simple ingredients can come together to create something extraordinary. The use of fresh lemon not only imparts a refreshing flavour but also brings a subtle brightness to each bite. The rich, buttery texture of the biscuit provides a perfect canvas for the lemon's zesty character, making these lemon biscuits an irresistible treat.
The perfect accompaniment for afternoon tea or coffee
Imagine a lazy afternoon, a steaming cup of tea or coffee in your hand, complemented by the crisp, citrus-infused delight of a homemade lemon biscuit. Their light, refreshing flavour makes them an excellent choice for afternoon tea with guests or a cosy coffee break for yourself. They bring a burst of joy and flavour to any occasion and are sure to become a cherished staple in your baking repertoire.
Add your own touch
Consider making a sumptuous lemon cream cheese filling for the biscuits to add a special touch. Mix 1 tbsp cream cheese, 1 tbsp lemon curd, and 1 tbsp icing sugar gently with a fork until you have a mayonnaise-like texture. It quickly becomes runny, so be careful not to overmix. Just before serving, put 1 tbsp of the filling on a biscuit and top with another one. Voilà, easy, filled lemon biscuits. These lemon biscuits are a charming addition to any Easter-themed coffee break or dessert table, pairing wonderfully with other springtime sweet treats. Consider going all out on the theme, adding a coloured lemon icing on each biscuit, mixing icing sugar with lemon juice and a few drops of food colouring. Add crushed dragée Easter eggs on top before the icing sets or decorate with edible flowers.
