Lemon Butter Biscuit
Where do I begin? This recipe was something I thought would be a little different. I was bored with the usual salted and sweet butter biscuits and their variations! I love butter biscuits in general. Something always seems right in the world when I make them. Can’t describe it in any other manner!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter about 200-250 grams of unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 and 1/4 cups maida
- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 1/4 cup Powdered Brown Sugar gives it a nutty taste and a deeper golden brown colour
- 1 tsp Ossoro Indian Lemon Essence
- Zest of two lemons
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Steps for making the biscuit:
- Add 1 cup of butter in a bowl, I have used a new stand mixer for this recipe
- Add 1/2 cup of white sugar to this,
- Next, add 1/4 cup soft brown sugar to this, this gives it s a nutty taste
- I have used my new stand mixer,
- Using the whipping attachment, the sugars and butter are creamed well, this takes around 5 minutes!
- Bring all the ingredients to the centre of the bowl and mix again
- Add 1 teaspoon Ossoro Indian lemon essence and add the zest of 2 lemons and mix again
- Now start adding the flour in batches
- I’ve changed it to the beating attachment and added 1 tablespoon of water
- Add 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of Salt
- Mix all the ingredients well using a spatula
- Line your baking tray with baking or parchment sheet after applying a brushing of butter
- Now using a tablespoon as measure, partition the dough and roll it round
- Using a fork, prick holes, this helps in cooking them through and through
- Pop them into a preheated oven 180C for a maximum of 20 minutes
- Take out of oven and let it cool for 10 minutes and then serve
- Prepare the remaining dough the same way, I got around 20 biscuits with this recipe
- Take out of oven and let it cool for 10 minutes and then serve
