Lemon and Condensed Milk Biscuits (Botswana) image

This recipe was featured on week 34 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Botswana is my 34th stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. This recipe originally appeared in "Mma Ramotswe's Cookbook." When I made these I used too little flour, so mine were more like cookies (as pictured in my photo). Yours will be thicker and more biscuit-like.

Yield 24 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

8 ounces unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Cream together the butter and sugar, then add the condensed milk and keep blending until well mixed.
  • Add the lemon juice and grated zest, then sift together the dry ingredients and add that too. Keep blending until the ingredients are well-incorporated.
  • Take teaspoons of dough and roll them into balls, then place them on a greased baking sheet and flatten gently with a fork.

These biscuits were amazing! The lemon flavor was subtle but present, and the condensed milk made them so rich and decadent. I will definitely be making these again.
