1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 small lemon
1 cup milk
2 cups sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the butter and sugar until yellow and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla and lemon zest and continue pulsing until a firm dough forms.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscuits will be. Choose fresh, flavorful butter, eggs, and flour.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, making the biscuits light and airy.
  • Work the dough gently: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the biscuits to hold their shape and rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Cool the biscuits on a wire rack before serving: This will help them to crisp up.
