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:

  1. 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.

  2. Add the Baking Powder: Stir in the gluten-free baking powder to ensure the dough rises properly while baking.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Cool: Once baked, transfer the biscuits to a cooling rack to allow them to cool completely.

  8. 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!
