200g unsalted butter

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons lemon juice

silver cachous
coloured decorative miniature stars
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line 2 baking trays with non-stick paper.
2. Place the plain flour, rice flour, butter and sugar in a food processor and process until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Add the lemon rind and lemon juice; process until mixture forms a dough.
4. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, then roll out to a 5mm thickness.
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly coloured.
6. Mix the icing sugar and lemon juice in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until smooth. Use a knife to spread the icing over the biscuits, then decorate the biscuits with the silver cachous and miniature stars before the icing sets.
