Preparation:

  1. Mix the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl or a food processor then add the crushed seeds, lemon rind and sugar. Add the butter and rub it with your fingertips or process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  2. Stir in the sultanas than the egg and enough milk to mix a soft but not sticky dough.
  3. Knead lightly then roll out on a lightly floured surface until 5 mm thick. Stamp out a 7.5 cm circle using a fluted round biscuit cutter, and transfer to a greased baking sheet. Re-knead the trimmings and continue rolling and stamping out until all the dough has been used.
  4. Prick the biscuits with a fork then sprinkle with a little extra caster sugar and bake in a preheated oven, at 1800C, set timer for 10 minutes until pale golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, and store in an airtight tin for up to 5 days.
