What did you think of this recipe?
=)
When I made them I added water until it felt right otherwise it is quite crumbly other than that it is pretty good

I recommend using white sugar instead of raw, and beat the butter and sugar together, beat in the egg, then add the dry ingredients and only use 1 and a 1/2 cups of flour :)

Its a good recipe except for me - I added another egg after it was dry which made it better, would recommend. ADD TWO EGGS it helps if it's dry.

I think it was too much flour. in my opinion I think it should be around 80~90g
Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Rub in butter with your fingertips until it resembles fine bread-crumbs.
Add Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar, and lemon rind.
Lightly beat egg in a separate bowl. Add to dry ingredients, mixing to form a stiff dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Roll out to 4mm thickness. Cut out heart shapes using different sized heart cutters then place biscuits on a greased or lined baking tray.
Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Transfer biscuits on to a wire rack and allow to cool.
Icing : Sift Chelsea Icing Sugar into a bowl. Add butter and sufficient boiling water to mix to a spreadable consistency.
For different icing colours, set aside some white icing, then add one drop at a time of red colouring to remaining icing to get shades of pink to bright red.
When I made them I added water until it felt right otherwise it is quite crumbly other than that it is pretty good
