09 Apr Lemon Egg Yolk Biscuit
Have you ever wonder what to do with the spare egg yolk you have after doing a Pavlova, Meringue or Angel Cake. Well, This Lemon Egg Yolk Biscuit recipe is the answer for all your prayers; not only will you use all those spare egg yolks and finish the waste. These biscuits are so yummy that after you make them, you will think what other recipe will bring some pare egg yolk, hahaha.
The best thing about the Lemon Egg Yolk Biscuit is its texture, and they will be crispy outside from the sugar coat but so cakey and fluffy that you will love them. I’ve made this recipe several times for my family, and it will always be a hit and only last for a couple of days. We are guilty of being a sweet tooth family.

Frequently asked questions about the Lemon Egg Yolk Recipe:
- Can you make this recipe in advance? Yes, you can do it in advance, and if you are baking them during the week, you can let the dough rest in your fridge and scoop the dough to a baking tray and bake it as indicated.
- Can you freeze this recipe? Yes, you can freeze the Lemon Egg Yolk Biscuit recipe if you are not baking it that week (as mentioned above). You can freeze them for up to 3 months and scoop what you want to bake, and have freshly baked cookies anytime you want them.
- Do I need a stand mixer to do this recipe? Is it easier to do it in a stand mixer but you can do it by hand, but make sure to mix everything perfectly.
- Can I use unsalted butter for this recipe? Yes, you can, but add a pinch of salt to the mixture.
- Can I use eggs instead of egg yolks? I don’t recommend it because it will change all the texture. If you are looking for a cookie recipe with eggs, we have plenty of them under the category “Tea Time”
