Recipe's preparation

    Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 200˚C (180˚C fan). Line two baking trays with baking paper.

  2. Zest lime, lemon and orange by cutting one end off the fruit and setting it on it’s end. Use a sharp knife to remove the zest ensuring you get as little of the pith as possible.

  3. Make icing sugar if necessary by milling raw sugar for 10 seconds on speed 10. Add citrus zests to icing sugar and mill for 10 seconds on speed 10, or until zest is finely grated through the sugar.

  4. Add butter and mix for a few seconds on speed 4-5 to combine. Insert butterfly and cream butter and sugar mixture on speed 4 for 30 seconds or until pale and fluffy.

  5. Remove butterfly and add flour to TM bowl. Mix on speed 4 until combined. Scrape down bowl as necessary.

  6. With the blades running on speed 3-4, add water through the hole in the lid and mix on speed 3-4 for a few more seconds, or until dough forms. Scrape down as necessary.

  7. Tip out dough on to a Thermomat or clean surface sprinkled with a little flour and knead lightly to bring dough together into a ball. The dough is very “short” so you may need to sprinkle a little flour on the Thermomat if using. Roll out dough until ½-1 cm thick.

  8. Cut biscuits with a heart shaped cutter and place on trays about 2cm apart.

  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Transfer to cooling rack.

    10. Icing

  10. Make icing sugar if necessary by milling raw sugar for 10 seconds on speed 10. To get a very fine sugar suitable for icing you might like to mill for slightly longer.

  11. If using bought icing sugar, mix for a few seconds on speed 3-4 to remove lumps and aerate. With the blades running on speed 2-3, add lemon juice through the hole in the lid and continue mixing until smooth. Scrape down bowl as necessary. Add food colouring and mix until a consistent colour. Pour icing into a shallow bowl and lightly dip tops of biscuits in icing. Place on rack and allow to set.

    I made these for V Day and they were absolutely yummy just with orange and lemon zest. Icing was delicious!

    I even used less sugar for the biscuit and it was great.

  • I made these for Valentine's

    Submitted by robpow on 19. February 2012 - 18:09.

    I made these for Valentine's Day morning tea with pink lemon icing and then for the rest iced with passionfruit icing which was also great (they are also good uniced). I would also not be too worried about incuding the lime peel.  Orange and lemon or just lemon would still be great.
