I absolutely love anything that is lemon and I have been thinking about lemon biscuits for a while. Then i opened up my fridge and sitting there was tub of clotted cream and I had an idea…lets make sandwiched lemon biscuits and here we are.
They are exactly what they sound like, they are lemon biscuits sandwiched together with a lemon icing drizzled over the top. They are sandwiched together with clotted cream and lemon curd.
Now, I used my cookie press to make my biscuits because I like that I can make any design with it and it does make life a little bit easier. However, if you don’t have one then I would recommend making viennese whirls.
The biscuits dough for these biscuits is super soft and yummy. They always taste amazing which is the other reason I chose the cookie press as well.
I can see what your thinking…clotted cream? Really? Yes clotted cream isn’t just for afternoon tea. The clotted cream sandwiched in between these biscuits takes the edge of the lemon curd while still providing a very yummy silky middle.
You don’t have to use clotted cream, you can use regular cream whipped up. It is up to you but I do recommend trying it because it is a game changer.
