Ingredients

  • 450 g flour

  • 300 g butter

  • 150 g sugar

  • dash of lemon juice

  • pinch of salt

  • pinch of vanilla pod

  • optional: 1 egg yolk

Preparation

  • Knead ingredients in a bowl until these get a consistency of a dough. Avoid to knead to long since dough might lose bond.

  • Dough has to rest in fridge for 1 to 2 hours. It might help to wrap the dough while resting.

  • Roll out dough and cut out biscuits. If dough is sticky then dust with some additional flour.

  • Oven must be preheated at 160 degrees Celsius. Bake for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

NOTE Watch after the biscuits. Mind that shortcrust pastry biscuits should still be baked light. After taking the biscuits out of the oven they still get a bit darker while these rest.
