How To Make lemon clouds
-
1Tips: Put baking tray in fridge to cool before mix dough Between batches wash and dry baking tray and place in freezer for about 5 minutes. Any biscuits that do not press correctly pick up the dough and add back into spare dough. After each loading of the press do a couple of practice presses straight into bowl with dough in and then scrap excess dough from bottom of press with spatula. If you do not have a cookie press use a piping bag / tube and rosette nozzle.
