Ingredients

  • 200 g 7oz butter
  • 2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
  • cup caster superfine sugar
  • 1 ½ cups plain AP flour
  • ½ cup rice or cornflour
  • Icing sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 130C (265F) fan-forced and line two baking trays with baking paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, lemon zest, ginger and caster sugar together for 5 minutes.
  • Scrape down the bowl and the beater and beat for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the flours and mix them through slowly until a dough forms.
  • Using two level teaspoons of dough at a time, roll it into balls and flatten slightly then place on the oven trays leaving 2cm between each one.
  • Gently press each one with the back of a fork to make a pretty indent.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until firm but not quite golden.
  • Leave to rest on the trays for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with icing sugar to serve.
