Lemon Wafers

Ingredients

  • 125g Plain Flour
  • 40g Butter
  • 40g Sugar
  • 80ml lemon juice (1 lemon)


Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
  2. Grease a baking tray (or line it with baking parchment if you prefer).
  3. Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
  4. Rub in the flour. The result should resemble bread crumbs.
  5. Add the lemon juice and stir it in with a broad knife.
  6. Once all the lemon has been absorbed knead everything together with your hands to form a dough. Keep kneading until you get something soft and very slightly springy.
  7. Roll out your dough on a floured surface. You should aim to get it thin enough to see through.
  8. Cut the sheet into shapes of about 5cm (squares work best if you just plan to use them for Lemon Moments, but you can use pretty much any shape you like).
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges are just browning. Leave to cool before transferring to a cooling rack. They should still be slightly soft but harden to a crispy texture as they cool.
  10. Allow to cool completely before serving or using in a further recipe.
The recipe for my lemon wafers, which are also needed in the recipe for my Lemon Moments.
