Steps

• In a bowl, crack the egg, add the sugar and a pinch of salt.

  Start mixing with a fork.

  Squeeze a lemon to get the indicated amount of juice and strain it through a sieve.

  This way we won’t have seeds falling into the dough.

  Then add the juice and grated zest and continue mixing.

  Add the oil and gradually incorporate the flour.

  Combine with the fork as much as possible, then finish by hand.

  Once you get a smooth and fragrant dough, place it on a work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin.

  

• Once the dough is rolled out you can use it to prepare excellent pies with jams and custard creams.

  Of course, from this dough you can also cut out cookies in your favorite shapes.

  The cake will have a different baking time than the cookies.

  I bake at 340°F static about 13/14 minutes for cookies and 25/30 minutes for pies.

  Always adjust based on the size and height of the cake.

  The same goes for cookies, if you make them thicker they’ll need a few more minutes, if you prepare them thin, a few less.
