Directions

  1. In a pan, combine 3 egg yolks, 70 g cane sugar, grated zest of 1 lemon, 16 g rice flour (or cake flour), and 250 g milk. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until well combined. Once heated, transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. After a while, add 30 g lemon juice and mix well.

  2. In another pan, heat 70 g unsalted butter, 115 g water, and 1 g salt until the butter has melted. Turn off the heat, then stir in 75 g rice flour. Let it cool slightly before incorporating the 3 whole eggs, mixing well until the dough comes together. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag, cut a small tip, and pipe small cookie-sized portions onto a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

  3. Once the cookies have baked and cooled, pour the previously prepared mixture over them. In a separate bowl, combine 45 g powdered sugar and 10 g lemon juice, then drizzle this glaze over the cookies.
