Lemon Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1-1/4 lb flour
• 3/4 lb loaf sugar
• 6 oz fresh butter
• 4 eggs
• 1 oz lemon-peel
• 2 dessertspoonful lemon-juice

Instructions

1. Rub the flour into the butter;
2. stir in the pounded sugar and very finely-minced lemon-peel, and when these ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add the eggs, which should be previously well whisked, and the lemon-juice.
3. Beat the mixture well for a minute or two, then drop it from a spoon on to a buttered tin, about 2 inches apart, as the cakes will spread when they get warm;
4. place the tin in the oven, and bake the cakes of a pale brown from 15 to 20 minutes.
