Serves: 25 biscuits
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Gluten-Free Flour Mix | 250g |
| Lemon Juice | 30g |
| Lemon Zest | 1 lemon |
| Butter (softened) | 60g |
| Eggs | 48g (1 medium egg) |
| Brown Sugar | 60g |
| Gluten-Free Baking Powder | 7g |
| Salt (fine) | A pinch |
| Additional Brown Sugar (for rolling) | 30g |
| Gluten-Free Powdered Sugar (for finishing) | 30g |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour mix with the egg, lemon zest, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
-
Add the Baking Powder: Stir in the gluten-free baking powder to ensure the dough rises properly while baking.
-
Incorporate Butter: Slowly add small chunks of softened butter into the dough, mixing as you go. Take your time, incorporating each piece of butter until the dough becomes smooth and uniform.
-
Form the Dough: Once the dough is fully mixed, form it into a compact ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow it to set and chill.
-
Shape the Biscuits: After the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and divide it into approximately 18g portions. Roll each portion into a small ball and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with the setting on static heat. Bake the biscuits for about 15 minutes or until they are golden and cooked through.
-
Cool: Once baked, transfer the biscuits to a cooling rack to allow them to cool completely.
-
Finish with Sugar: Once cooled, dust the biscuits with powdered gluten-free sugar to add a delicate finishing touch.
Enjoy your Gluten-Free Soft Lemon Biscuits with their bright citrus flavor and soft, chewy texture. Perfect for those who love a sweet, zesty treat without gluten!
