Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Crack 5 eggs into a bowl and whisk well.
  2. Add the sugar, milk, olive oil, vanilla essence and the zest of 1 whole lemon.
  3. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze all its juice into the bowl.
  4. Whisk the base really well.
  5. Sift in the self-raising flour a cupful at a time. Once about three-quarters of the flour is added, mix with a spatula.
  6. If the mixture is very sticky, gradually mix in more flour.
  7. Dust a board with flour, place the dough on it and knead, adding flour as needed, for about 5 minutes or until it no longer sticks to the board.
  8. Roll the dough into a thick log, cutting it in half if easier to handle.
  9. Wash the remaining eggs well before using them for the biscuits.
