Place them in a pot, cover completely with cold water. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once water begins to boil, turn off the heat & cover the pot with a lid. Leave the eggs in the hot water for approximately 8 minutes. 2) After the 8 minutes, drain the hot water & add cold water to the pot. This will stop the cooking process. Leave them in the cold water for approximately 10 minutes before peeling the eggs. Tap the eggs on a hard surface to break the entire shell into pieces. Carefully peel it away along the fractures, leaving the egg whites intact. Using a pairing knife, gently cut the white part of the eggs in half. Remove the egg yolks. Set aside. 3) In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, cornstarch & powdered sugar. Add the salt, lemon zest & the egg yolks by pressing them through a strainer. Mix well. 4) Add the butter.

When you squeeze the mixture in your hand,it should hold together. 5) Time to add the vanilla extract & lemon juice. Work into a soft round dough. 6) Place the dough in between 2 parchment papers. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4” (6mm). Place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes for the butter to solidify. 7) Using a flour shaped cookie cutter, cut out your biscuits. Use a small piping tip to make a whole in the centre of the biscuits. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Collect the remaining dough & continue making the biscuits. 8) Bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bottom of the cookies are lightly browned.
