Some smells help us to be awake and feel happy. Why not to start your day with citrus flavour? Everything you need is to mix simple ingredients in the evening and spend 5 minutes in the morning to make your flavoured citrus biscuits.
Ingredients:
- Butter 120 g
- Sugar 140 g
- Zest of 1 orange+2 tbsp of orange juice,
- Zest of 1 lemon+2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 big egg or 2 small
- Flour 370 g
- Baking powder 1,5 tsp
- Pinch of salt
Method:
1. Firstly, grate zest from the fruits and squeeze lemon and orange juice out. Be careful and remove just zest and leave white pith because it has bitter taste.
2. Then whisk butter with sugar until smooth, using a hand or stand mixer. Add zest, egg and whisk on a high speed few more minutes. Pour lemon juice and stir until smooth.
3. Combine flour and baking powder, add this mixture into the butter mixture and make the dough. You should get a smooth consistency.
4. Wrap the dough into cling film and put into refrigerator. It will be ready for use in an hour. But you can leave it overnight and make fresh, warm biscuits for your breakfast.
5. Form balls around 4-5 cm in diameter and put it onto an oven tray. Bake 14-17 minutes, 180°C. Enjoy!
