Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) Robin Hood® Original All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup (250 mL) corn starch
  • 1 cup (250 mL) sifted icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) grated lemon zest

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour, corn starch, icing sugar and lemon zest in large bowl. Blend in butter with a wooden spoon then knead dough with hands until a soft, smooth dough forms.

Tips

  1. Dough can also be shaped into 1” (2.5 cm) balls and flattened.
