   I doubled the recipe as 1/2 egg just sounded like too much effort.

45g butter at room temp

1/4 cup caster sugar

1/2 egg

1/2 tsp lemon essence

1/2 cup plain flour sifted

1/2 cup self raising flour sifted

1 TB milk.

1. Preheat oven to 160C, lightly butter cookie sheet or use baking paper.

2. Cream butter & sugar in an electric mixer. Mix in egg & lemon essence, then add the flours & mix to a firm dough.

3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out until about 5mm thick, cut in lots of different shapes & glaze with milk.
