Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and caster sugar until it is light in color and consistency.
- This can be done with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer.
- Beat in the flour, salt, semolina and lemon zest, then finish with your hands to form a soft pliable dough.
- Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Dust your worktop with a little flour and roll out the shortbread dough to about 1 cm thick.
- Using a small biscuit cutter (about 4 cm in diameter), cut out as many biscuits as you can, re-rolling and re-cutting any trimmings as you go.
- Place on a couple of greased baking trays and bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes until they turn lightly golden.
- As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle with a little caster sugar.
- Once they are cool, enjoy straight away or store in an airtight container.
- Makes about 40.
