The Ultimate Citrus Treat You Didn’t Know You Needed

If you’re a fan of citrusy sweets that are soft, delicate, and full of bright flavor, these Soft Lemon Biscuits are going to become your new obsession. Bursting with the fresh aroma of lemon and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, they’re the kind of treat that brings sunshine to your day—no matter the season.

Imagine biting into a biscuit that’s tender and airy, lightly sweetened, kissed by lemon zest, and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. These aren’t your typical crunchy cookies—they’re soft, pillowy, and just the right balance of tart and sweet.

Perfect with a cup of tea, coffee, or simply on their own as an afternoon indulgence, these biscuits are easy to make, require no fancy equipment, and deliver bakery-style results every time.

Let’s get baking! 🍋✹

🛒 Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 80 ml (1/3 cup) sunflower oil
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 50 ml (3 tablespoons) lemon juice
  • 380 g (3 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 12 g (2 1/2 teaspoons) baking powder

For Dusting:

  • 80 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar

đŸ‘©â€đŸł Instructions: Step-by-Step to Biscuit Bliss

1. Preheat and Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients đŸ„šđŸ‹

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and slightly foamy. Add the sunflower oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated. You should already smell that bright citrus aroma—that’s a good sign!

3. Add the Dry Ingredients đŸ„Ł

Gradually add the flour and baking powder into the wet mixture. Stir with a spoon or your hands until a soft, smooth dough forms. It should be pliable but not sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

4. Shape the Biscuits đŸ„

Take small portions of dough and roll them into balls about the size of a walnut (roughly 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each.

5. Dust with Sweetness ❄

Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated. This step not only adds a beautiful crinkle effect once baked but also balances the tart lemon with a light sweetness on the outside.

6. Bake to Perfection âČ

Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops should remain soft and pale—this keeps the biscuits from drying out and ensures that irresistible melt-in-your-mouth texture.

7. Cool and Enjoy 😍

Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack. As they cool, the lemon scent intensifies and the texture becomes even more tender. Once fully cooled, dust with a bit more powdered sugar if desired.
