Instructions:
-
Cream butter and sugar. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
-
Add egg and mix well. Beat in the egg until well incorporated into the butter-sugar mixture.
-
Add grated lemon rind and dry ingredients. Stir in the grated lemon rind along with the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until a dough forms.
-
Add currants. Gently fold in the currants until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Shape the biscuits. Roll teaspoonfuls of the dough into balls and place them on a lightly greased baking tray, leaving some space between each biscuit.
-
Press balls lightly with a fork. Using a fork dipped in flour to prevent sticking, gently press down on each ball to flatten slightly.
-
Bake. Preheat the oven to 180-190Β°C (Gas mark 4). Bake the biscuits for about 15-20 minutes or until they are just slightly golden in color, being careful not to overbrown them.
-
Serve and Enjoy! Once baked, let the biscuits cool on a wire rack before serving. These Lemon Currant Biscuits are best enjoyed with a hot cup of tea or coffee, or simply on their own as a delightful snack.
