Meyer Lemon Biscotti

This is my idea of cookie decorating right now.

When Meyer lemons are in, I can’t resist buying a bag. They’re much milder than regular lemons; a hybrid between a lemon and a mandarin orange. Delicious, right? A plain lemon would be fine too.

I used the zest and the juice in the biscotti, and more juice in the drizzle, but melted white chocolate would be divine instead – the combination of lemon and chocolate seems to be a thing right now.

It’s not too late to make a batch of something delicious to leave on the doorstep of someone you like.

Meyer Lemon Biscotti

AuthorJulie

Yields1 Serving

1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
finely grated zest of a Meyer lemon
1 large egg
juice of a Meyer lemon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Lemon Drizzle
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 Tbsp. cream
2 tsp. lemon juice

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2

In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy; beat in the egg and juice. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir until the dough comes together.

3

Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and with dampened hands (if it's sticky), shape into 12-14 inch long log, then flatten until it's 3-4 inches wide. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until pale golden and set.

4

Reduce the temperature to 275°F and let the biscotti log cool. Slice on a slight diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices and return to the baking sheet, sitting them upright, spaced at least an inch apart. Return to the oven for 30 minutes, or until crisp, pale golden and dry.

5

To make the drizzle, whisk together the icing sugar, cream and lemon juice. Drizzle over the cooled biscotti and leave until set.

    It would be helpful to state the amount of lemon juice since lemons vary in the amount of juice they produce. Thank you.

    Trying this recipe right now. I used the juice of 1 lemon as stated, we’ll see how that works. It was about less than half a cup of meyer lemon juice. I will come & update to see how they came out. I actually ended up misreading the recipe & creamed the sugar, butter & Lemon juice, not the zest…We’ll see if doing so ruined the recipe…I decided to go ahead and proceed, since it took a bit to bring the butter to temp & I am baking at 10pm lol
