By simply grating a little fresh lemon zest into a biscuit batter you will be impressed how it lifts even the plainest mix into such a delightful treat.

Ingredients

115g unsalted butter, softened

⅔ cup sugar

1 Tbsp (2 lemons) zested

1 egg

1 ½ cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp sea salt flakes

1 Tbsp poppy seeds

Method

Preheat the oven 170C

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and creamy.

Add the lemon zest and continue beating for a further 2 minutes to get the lemon flavour infused.

Add the egg and beat well to combine.

Sift the flour and baking powder together and gently mix through the batter along with the salt and finally the poppy seeds.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and roll 20 even sized biscuits. Allowing space between each.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until firm to the touch.

Cool before eating.  They also love to be iced if feeling in the mood.
