Get ready for Easter with a simple recipe for buttery lemon biscuits, perfect for baking with kids. Mary Berry's recipe, featured on the BBC website, requires minimal ingredients and time, making it ideal for preparing in advance and enjoying on Easter Sunday.
Easter presents the ideal opportunity to treat yourself to something a bit sweet. Beyond the usual chocolate eggs and hot cross buns, why not have a go at making Easter biscuits? Traditional Easter biscuits feature subtle spicing, zesty lemon and sweet currants, and they're brilliantly simple to whip up with the kids lending a hand.
Baking legend Mary Berry's version skips the spices entirely, making them particularly appealing to younger palates. According to Mary's recipe on the BBC website : 'These buttery lemon biscuits are easy to make and take very little time.' Preparation clocks in at under half an hour, with cooking time ranging between 10 and 30 minutes. Even better news – these biscuits can be prepared up to three days in advance and stored in an airtight container, meaning you can bake them now and have them all set for Easter Sunday, reports the Express . 100g unsalted butter, softened 75g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling One free-range egg, separated One small unwaxed lemon, finely grated zest only 200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting 50g currants One to two tbsp milk Set your oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6. Prepare three baking trays by lining them with baking paper. Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and lemon zest. Sieve in the flour and combine thoroughly. Fold in the currants and add enough milk to make a reasonably soft dough. Work the dough on a flour-dusted surface and roll it out with a rolling pin until it reaches 5mm in thickness. Using a 6cm fluted cutter, stamp out 24 circular shapes. It's important that the dough doesn't become overly soft, so try working in a cooler spot in your kitchen. Should the mixture feel too soft after combining, pop the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up. Place the biscuits onto the baking trays with a palette knife and pop them in the oven for eight minutes. Whisk the egg white lightly using a fork. Take the biscuits out of the oven and coat the tops with the egg white mixture. Scatter caster sugar over the top and return to the oven for five minutes, or until they turn a light golden colour and are fully cooked. Allow to cool on the trays for a couple of minutes before gently transferring onto a wire rack to cool down fully.
