Lemon pizzelle shortbread biscuits recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. Line two flat baking trays with baking paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and sugar. Add butter, eggs and lemon juice and whisk well until smooth.

Step 3

Drop tablespoon-size measures onto the lined trays leaving plenty of space between them - I did four per tray. Use a spoon or offset palette knife to spread the mixture out into an 8cm circle. Bake for 4 minutes, then remove from oven and press a well-greased mould into the top of each biscuit. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until golden and set.

Step 4

Allow to cool slightly, then remove to a cake rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining mixture.
