  My 9 year old son made these. They were easy to make, the short list of ingriedents was good and they tasted delicious. Even my citrus hating daughter liked them. He said next time he'd like to try making them with lime or orange.

  easy to make but the biscuit tasted a bit disappointing. rolling out the dough very thinly makes them crisp up a bit better - i found mine a bit doughy. icing was delicious!

  I'm a bit new to all of this, and I get the part about whizzing the flour and butter but when it says 'process' in the other ingredients what does this actually mean and would a whisk do the job? Thanks for your help!

  Yum yum! This recipe made loads! So tasty with icing and when added to hone made ice cream is a deliciously smart pudding.

  These are great, so easy to make...I keep them without icing in an airtight box for up to a week, and just make up a little icing using bottled lemon juice when I want some.

  Wanted to bake something but didn't have lots in the cupboard so thought I'd try these. Very simple, reslly tasty! The icing recipe was a little bit thick, but actually turned out well when applied.

  I left out the lemon and put in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Then iced them with milk chocolate. They worked really well and tasted lovely.

  Excellent recipe! Quick and easy to make.. At first the dough was a bit crumbly but i added a litte bit more of flour and then pressed with my hands until the dough was all one big ball. For the icing though i suggest using only 100 g of icing sugar. x

  Nice and quick, and tasty too. I didn't make the icing thick enough to start, so you do need to use all the icing sugar in this recipe. I didn't manage to drizzle the icing very well either, so mine didn't look at pretty as the picture!! :-)
