Letâs get baking! đâš
đ 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
đ©âđł 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 đ„đ
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 aromaâthatâs a good sign!
3. Add the Dry Ingredients đ„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 đ„
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 âïž
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 âČïž
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10â12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops should remain soft and paleâthis keeps the biscuits from drying out and ensures that irresistible melt-in-your-mouth texture.
7. Cool and Enjoy đ
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.
