AK Biscuits!

So we popped into this über cool kitchen wear shop called Whisk and came across an alphabet wall of cookie cutters. We grabbed the A and the K thinking they will definitely come in handy on our next Cooking Tuesday as we had a too-easy-to-be-true biscuit recipe that was waiting to be put to the test! Amazingly enough it did what it said on the tin and turned out to be the easiest recipe to date. With basically no manual labour and hardly any ingredients, all of which goes straight into a food processor to be whizzed to a dough, the hard work is done for you so you can sit back, relax and in our case squeeze in a brain storm or two!









Lemon Biscuits
Makes 20-30
300g flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3x lemon zest, juice of one
125g soft light brown sugar
125g caster sugar
170g butter, melted


Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4, mix all the dry ingredients with 1/2 tsp salt in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add the melted butter, lemon zest and juice and mix until you have a dough. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins before rolling into 20-30 balls. Place the biscuits on greased trays and bake for 10-12 mins, or until golden.


Even though they came out looking more like the bubble writing one used to do as a kid. They were crispy, lemony and delicious, went down a storm with family and friends and are going to feature again at a birthday party coming up on the weekend. 
Serving suggestion: with a lovely hot cuppa of course!
