  • Zest of a large lemon and 1tbsp juice

Method

  1. Stir the butter so that it softly whipped

  2. Mix in the sugar

  3. Add the lemon zest and juice (I also like to add a tsp if ginger syrup as an optional extra)

  4. Add the flour and mix together with your hands to form a dough

  5. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the mixture
