Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC.
  2. Cream the butter, sugar and lemon rind until light & fluffy. Work in the egg yolk, then stir in the flour and currants. Knead lightly until smooth. Leave the mixture in the fridge or a cool place for about 1 hour.
  3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 3mm thick. Cut into rounds with a fluted 7.5cm cookie cutter. Brush with a little egg white, dredge with Caster Sugar, lift onto a baking paper lined tray & bake for 12–15 minutes or until just golden brown.
  4. Lift onto a wire rack & leave to cool. Store in an airtight container.

    Tremendous little recipe. The result was perfect and the cooking time just right (at 15mins fan-forced). Very more-ish, ideal with tea or coffee and the lemon/currant balance is perfect. Found it best to knead the dough again lightly after refrigerating to prevent cracking whilst rolling out.
    Thank you!!! Sam
