  • 1 lemon zest
  • 1 tsp. Sacla’ Vegan Basil Pesto
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Approximately 6tsp. Manilife creamy peanut butter
  • Icing sugar for dusting

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160 fan oven. Add the flour, sugar, butter and lemon zest to a food processor and blitz until fine breadcrumb consistency
  2. Now add Sacla' Vegan Basil Pesto and the egg yolk and use the pulse button until it starts to come together as a dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board and knead it gently
  3. Roll the dough out to about 5mm thick and cut out the rounds, you will need to re-gather and re-roll the dough. Sit them on a baking sheet or use two lined with baking paper and put in the oven to bake for about 10-12 mins or until pale golden
  4. Remove and leave to cool for a couple of mins then stamp out a circle in half the biscuits, these are for the tops
