Equipment

  • 6 cm cookie cutter
  • Piping Bag with a Nozzle

Ingredients
 
 

For Lemon Shortbread:

  • 170 g salted butter fridge-cold
  • 250 g plain flour
  • 100 g icing sugar
  • 1 lemon zest and 2 tablespoon juice
  • 1 large egg yolk

For the Filling:

  • 80 g butter room temperature
  • 80 g icing sugar
  • 80 g lemon curd room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Rub butter into plain flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Mix in icing sugar and lemon zest.
  • Add an egg yolk and 2 tbs of lemon juice, and bring everything into a ball, making sure not to overwork the pastry.
  • Divide into two equal pieces. Flatten them slightly (so it's easier to roll later) and wrap in clingfilm. Pop in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Whilst the pastry is chilling, line two large baking sheets with baking parchment.
  • To make the filling, cream butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy and set aside for later.
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C Fan. After 30 minutes of chilling, take the pastry out of the fridge onto a floured surface. Flour your rolling pin and roll both pieces out to 2 mm thickness.
  • Stamp out approx. 60 round discs (we used a 6cm cutter). Then use a small cutter (or a piping nozzle) to stamp out the middles of 30 of the discs for the tops.
  • Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes switching the shelves and rotating baking sheets midway through. Take them out of the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Pipe a circle of buttercream towards the outer edge of the 30 round discs, leaving the centre empty for the lemon curd. Then pipe a blob of lemon curd in the middle of each of the 30 biscuits and sandwich with the ring-shaped top biscuit.
  • Dust the Lemon Jammy Dodgers with some more icing sugar before serving.
