Jumble sale

So on to tonights last bake unless I get another dip.
Jumbles.
Ive seen a lot of recipes for these which involve a lot of steps. But Eliza Acton laughs at such stuff. These really are good but two tips...first if you have never used siliconised baking parchment believe in it now. These things cling on like a limpet up a whales arse.
Secondly lemon...use a big one.

Ok 4oz sugar
4oz sr flour
11/2 oz melted butter.
A lemon
one small egg

Oven to 130c

Grate the lemon zest into the sugar then rub sugar over the grater to get the oil.
Add the flour. Stir in the egg and the butter to get a stiff paste.
Put spoonfuls on a baking sheet spread well out. Bake slowly. Flavour developes over time. Takes about 30 mins. They should be hard to the touch all over.
Let them cool slightly before detraying and cooling on a rack.
