LEMON PIROUETTES

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter , at room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1 large egg white , beaten until foamy

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat (or use a nonstick baking sheet). Set aside. Place the butter and lemon juice in a medium bowl and beat with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute or until well combined. Add the powdered sugar, flour, and lemon peel and beat on low speed for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary. Add the egg white and beat just until incorporated. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon batter onto each half of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the batter with the back of a spoon into a 5-inch circle. (Don't worry if the batter looks uneven--it will even out during the baking process.) Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool for 1 minute, then lift each with a metal spatula to loosen it and quickly roll up the cookie into a tight cylinder or cigar shape. Place the cookies, seam side down, on a cake rack to cool completely. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to three to five days or frozen for a couple of weeks.From SUMMER SMOOTHIES: more than 130 cool and refreshing recipes.

Tips:

  • For a chewier pirouette, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • To make the pirouettes extra crispy, brush them with melted butter before baking.
  • You can also sprinkle the pirouettes with sugar or cinnamon sugar before baking for a sweeter treat.
  • Lemon pirouettes are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Lemon pirouettes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
