Lemon Biscuits

Overview

These lemon biscuits were created to serve with my vegan almond and elderflower ricotta, but can be eaten on their own or with other deserts. The biscuits were inspired by a Mirander Gore Browne recipe, but modified to remove the processed white sugar, honey and replaced the oranges with lemons to mirror the lemons in the elderflower syrup, which is in the ricotta.

Top Tip

This recipe makes about 40 small biscuits, I cooked half of the dough and froze the remainder to make cookies another day.

Ingredients

Creates 40 Biscuits

50g rolled oats

250g wholegrain flour

1tsp baking powder

Juice and grated zest of one lemon

60ml extra virgin olive oil

50g coconut sugar

2 tbsp brown rice syrup

Pinch of salt

2 tbsp of oat milk

Method

  1. Using a food processor or blender whizz the oats until finely ground.
  2. Add the flour and baking powder to the oats.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon, olive oil, coconut sugar, brown rice syrup and salt. Mix until coconut sugar is well combined.
  4. Add the liquid to the oats and flour. Combine until you have a firm dough, if the mixture is too dry add a tbsp of oat milk to create a firm dough. You may need less or more than the 2 tbsp of oat milk.
  5. Divide the mixture in half and create two flat balls of dough. Wrap in a bees wax wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas mark 3) and line two baking trays with non-stick parchment.
  7. Place the chilled discs between two sheets of baking parchment. Roll the dough to 4 mm thickness and using a biscuit cutter stamp out shapes and place on the baking tray.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes until golden and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
