Kammerjunker Biscuits

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl; add cardamom and stir.
• Add butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs; add grated lemon zest and sugar and mix thoroughly.
• In another bowl, whisk together milk and egg; add to flour mixture and form a dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic; divide dough into two pieces.
• Roll each, with your hands, into a sausage like shape, about 1 inch in diameter.
• Slice each sausage into about 30 pieces; transfer to a greased baking sheet.
• Bake until cookies are dried and golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes; cool on a wire rack.
