Ingredients

• 150g of softened butter
• 50g of brown sugar
• 150g of honey
• 2 Tbsp of poppyseeds
• 2 Tbsp of grated lemon zest
• 4 Tbsp of lemon juice
• 175 g corn flour
• 275 g rice flour

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius and set aside a baking tray lined with baking paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the honey and mix again until combined.
3. Using a spoon, stir in the poppy seeds, lemons zest and lemon juice.
4. In a separate bowl, sift the flour and cornflour together and gradually add to the butter mixture until it starts to come together as a dough. It will be very soft and slightly sticky.
5. If the dough is too difficult to handle, place it in the refrigerator for 10 -15 minutes to harden slightly. Then scoop from the dough, enough dough to make 1 inch (approx) diameter balls.
6. Place each ball onto the prepared tray and flatten down with the underside of a fork (pulling the fork across the surface to create ridges).
7. Place in the oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the cookies are golden and brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
