If sweet, tangy, soft and crumbly biscuits sound like something you’d enjoy with your mid morning cuppa, this super easy recipe is for you!

A deliciously soft and sweet biscuit, the secret really does lie in the icing. A lemon crisp biscuit sans icing is a little meek – but team it with the icing and I assure you, it packs an awesome punch.

Lemon crisp biscuits ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ¾ cup caster sugar
  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ tablespoons lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cup plain flour
  • For the icing:
  • Lemon juice
  • ½ cup icing sugar

Method

  • Preheat oven to 175°.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar.
  • Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract, mix until combined.
  • Sift in the dry ingredients and mix lightly until combined.
  • Drop 1½ teaspoons onto lined baking trays, leaving plenty of space between – they will spread a lot.
  • Bake for around 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Let the biscuits cool on the tray for a minute before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • For the icing: Mix enough straight lemon juice with the icing sugar to make a thick paste. Pour the icing mix into a zip-lock bag, snip the corner and drizzle it onto the biscuits.

Notes

  • I recommend doubling this recipe. I know two dozen biscuits sounds like a lot, but these zesty gems go down the hatch in pairs. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
