Potato Biscuits

Light and airy potato biscuits, perfect for a tea time treat.

Ingredients

  • 4 large Eggs (Original recipe calls for 15 eggs, which is excessive. Reduced to 4 for a more manageable batch.)
  • 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (Original recipe calls for 1 pound of sugar, which is excessive. Reduced to 1/4 cup.)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (Zest of one lemon)
  • 0.5 cup Potato flour
  • 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (For glazing)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
  2. 2In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3In the bowl with the egg whites, whip the whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. 4Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture.
  5. 5Sift the potato flour over the egg mixture and gently fold it in until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. 6Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place paper cases on the parchment paper. Fill each case about 3/4 full with the batter.
  7. 7Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with coarse sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  8. 8Let the biscuits cool on a wire rack before serving.
