6. Add vanilla and lemon juice, then put aside.
7. Make a hole in the dry mixture, then add the liquid, mix well.

9. Take a round cutter and cut out circle from the dough.
10. Whip up an egg in a cup and brush the yolk over the tops of your dough circles.

Place the baking tray in the oven as it preheats.
Add sultanas to the dough and also serve with fresh cut strawberries, if you want to be particularly fancy.
