Recipe from : http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/24586/lemon+melting+moments with a little adjustment to meet ingredients available.


Ingredients

  • 200g (1 1/3 cups) plain flour
  • 100g (2/3 cup) cornflour
  • 225g unsalted butter, chopped, softened (I used bout 180g butter and the rest, olive oil coz out of butter)
  • 80g (1/2 cup) icing sugar, sifted, plus extra, to dust (use normal sugar, no dusting :)
  • 3 lemons, zested (used two, juice and zest)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (omitted coz no stock)

Method

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 170C. Sift flours with 1/4 tsp salt into a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add zest and vanilla, then gradually beat in combined flours until mixture just comes together.
  2. Roll 2 teaspoonsful of dough into balls, placing them on 2 oven trays lined with baking paper. Using a floured flat bottom of a glass, flatten balls to 3.5cm rounds, then, using the back of a floured fork, mark biscuits with tines. Bake for 12 minutes, swapping trays halfway, or until biscuits are light golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
