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