Classic Crisp Lemon Shortbread
  1. Place your granulated sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar for 2 minutes.

  2. Cream the 'lemon sugar' and butter together until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

  3. Gradually add the flour and salt. Mix until the dough just starts to clump together.

  4. Press the dough into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch baking pan (for 'fingers') or roll into a log. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

  5. Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 25–30 minutes.

  6. While still warm from the oven, sprinkle the top with a tablespoon of extra granulated sugar.
