1 lemon works perfectly for this recipe. -- Zest the lemon first before cutting into it. Then once zested, cut it in half to juice it.
- 8
The dough will be a bit sticky. Don't worry about rolling it into perfect balls to roll into the confectioners' sugar. -- Just get it roughly into balls, and then shape it up a bit more once coated in confectioners' sugar.
