lemon butter biscuits

I've just made these biscuits and they have turned out quite well. After reading some of the above comments, I decided to use only juice and zest of 1 lemon, though I still needed to add more flour to turn it in to a dough. I think next time I will use the juice of 1 lemon and the zest of 2 lemons to give the biscuits the citrus tang which makes them so tasty :-)

My mixture also came out as a cake mix. I made to biscuits anyway and they came almost like little cakes. They were very delicious eventhough they weren't bisuits. I think next time I make this recipe I would just bake it as a cake :-)

My mixture came out like cake mixture rather than dough despite adding a little extra flour and baking powder. Perhaps the recipe should be one large lemons or 2 small. I have put it in the fridge and will have to cook it as drop biscuits rather than rolling out as it is not a dough.

Do you really have to leve it in the fridges for 2 hours? im doing this for a school project called cook pack sell and i just dont have the time. do you think i could just put it in the freezer for about 10 mins???

Recipe turned out great (with the displayed measurements). They were yummy and zesty. Thanks Jamie.

As others have stated, my mix was also sloppy, more like a muffin mix. I added a little more flour but not enough to make it a dough, just enough so it was stiff enough to drop dollops onto the baking tray. They were a little bit cakey but were still delicious. I added crystalised ginger chopped finely and that worked really well. I'm intrigued to know what Jamie's recipe actually is as this is obviously not quite the right measurements.

Jjust waiting for the dough to chill but I replaced lemons for a spoonfull of honey and needed to add extra flour untill made a ball, cant wait to see what they turn out like. Kerry Stoke on Trent

sorry Jamie but just done these biscuits from the red nose day book and they didnt turn into a dough, just a slop really. disapointed.<br />

Thank you very much Jamie. It's awesome, just like the onion soup. People liked it so much.

How many biscuits does this recipe make?

I too needed to add more flour, I think as my lemons were very juicy. they taste awesome !!!
