Lemon sour cream biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups lupin semolina (you can use flour if you like but semolina gives a nice texture)
  • 1 1/3 cups caster sugar
  • 1 1/3 tsp baking powder
  • 125g butter melted, cooled
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • Lemon zest, to serve

Sour cream icing

  • 2 1/2 cups pure icing sugar, sifted
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160C/140C fan-forced. Line 4 large baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Combine semolina, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Make a well. Add melted butter, sour cream, egg, lemon rind and juice. Mix well to combine (mixture will resemble a thick cake batter). Drop level tablespoons of mixture, 6cm apart, onto prepared trays. Bake, 1 tray at a time, for 12 minutes or until just firm to touch. Stand for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Make Sour Cream Icing: Whisk icing sugar, sour cream and lemon juice together until smooth and thick. Working quickly, spread icing onto biscuits. Sprinkle with lemon zest. Stand for 1 hour to set. Serve.
