Instructions

  1. Cover the butter biscuits with icing sugar and attach any decorations (e.g. gummy bears, smarties, sprinkles etc.) and put the biscuits aside.
  2. Mix the butter with sugar, vanilla sugar and eggs until frothy. Mix in the flour with the baking powder. Stir in enough lemon juice until the batter is smooth. Spread the dough on a baking sheet and bake at 200 ° C for 25-30 minutes.
