Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (gas mark 6).
  2. Beat the soft butter with the sugar until you have a smooth, pale cream.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla and lemon zest.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, then the milk, mixing just until you have a soft dough.
  5. Shape into small balls about 3 cm across and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, spacing them apart.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let them cool, then dust generously with icing sugar.

Variations and tips

Spiced version. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough, or a little aniseed, for a more festive flavour.
