How To Make lemon clouds

  • Step 1
    Tips: Put baking tray in fridge to cool before mix dough Between batches wash and dry baking tray and place in freezer for about 5 minutes. Any biscuits that do not press correctly pick up the dough and add back into spare dough. After each loading of the press do a couple of practice presses straight into bowl with dough in and then scrap excess dough from bottom of press with spatula. If you do not have a cookie press use a piping bag / tube and rosette nozzle.

  • Step 3
    Sift together flour and cornflour, add to butter and combine well until it forms a very soft dough.
  • Step 4
    Put some dough in cookie press or piping tube. Press cookies directly onto cooled baking tray.
  • Step 5
    Bake for 8 minutes. Cool fully on cooling rack before putting the biscuits together.
  • Step 6
    To make the icing (frosting): Using electric hand held mixer cream butter until smooth and paler in colour. Add lemon curd and milk, mix until smooth. Add icing sugar a little at a time and mix well.
