Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture, and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the date caramel: In a blender, combine the chopped dates and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Drizzle the date caramel over the cooled biscuits and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before serving.
