Lemon shortbread

Lemon shortbread is synonymous to summer time tea. After all what is a proper afternoon tea if it doesn’t contain at least one type of shortbread (and scones, afternoon tea needs to have scones for sure).

Like the majority of recipes in the blog, this one hails from my grandmother’s repertoire, although she called them Scottish biscuits, but it is a type of shortbread biscuit, so I’m renaming it Lemon shortbread because I’m adding in the lemony goodness to this one.

Its a quick and easy recipe to make – in all honesty I never  find an actual recipe to be difficult, as long as the steps are easy to follow, and this one is extremely basic- and the end product is a melt in your mouth goodness that will have you going for seconds and even thirds.

So give this one a try, you won’t be disappointed and your family and friends will love you for it.
