About Lemon biscuits

Lemon biscuits are a delightful treat rooted in European baking traditions, often enjoyed with tea or coffee. These biscuits are made with ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and fresh lemon zest or juice, which provides their signature citrus flavor. Some variations include a light glaze or icing for added sweetness. While lemon biscuits offer a refreshing zesty taste, they are typically high in carbohydrates and sugar, and their saturated fat content can be significant due to the butter. On the positive side, lemon provides vitamin C, antioxidants, and natural flavor without artificial additives. For a healthier option, some recipes substitute whole-grain flour or reduce sugar content. Lemon biscuits are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
