Method

  1. 1

    Melt the butter. Let it cool for a moment. Stir the cream and sugar into the melted butter.

  2. 2

    Combine the dry ingredients and sift them into the mixture. Stir and let the dough rest in a cool place for a moment.

  3. 3

    Shape the dough into a log and divide it into 30 pieces. Roll the dough pieces into small round balls (Ø 2 cm) and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Press an indentation into the center of each ball using, for example, a wine bottle cork.

  4. 4

    Transfer the lemon curd into a piping bag and snip the tip off. Pipe the curd into the indentations in the cookies.
