Provided by Karin...

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 30 biscuits, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces butter
6 ounces sugar
8 ounces flour
1 egg
2 ounces currants
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large lemon, rind of, grated
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Add egg and mix well.
  • Add grated lemon rind and dry ingredients.
  • Add currants.
  • Roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on lightly greased baking tray.
  • Press balls lightly with fork.
  • (dip fork in flour and shake off excess).
  • Bake 180'-190'C (Gas mark 4) for about 15-20 minutes- or until they are just slightly golden in colour- not browned.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon zest. Fresh lemon zest has a brighter, more intense flavor than dried or bottled zest.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixed dough will be tough and dry. Mix the dough until it just comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are lightly golden brown. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the biscuits warm. Freshly baked lemon tea biscuits are best served warm, with butter, jam, or clotted cream.

Conclusion:

Lemon tea biscuits are a classic British tea time treat. They are easy to make, and they are always a hit with friends and family. With their delicate lemon flavor and light, flaky texture, lemon tea biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea. Whether you enjoy them plain, with butter, or with jam, lemon tea biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your home.
