Ingredients for the lemon swirls
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or type 0 or 1)
- 1/4 cup oz powdered sugar (or granulated)
- 1/4 cup oz Oil
- 3 1/2 tbsp oz milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp oz baking powder
- 2 lemons (Grated zest)
- 2 1/2 tbsp oz Granulated sugar
Steps for the lemon swirls
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and powdered sugar well.
Add the warm milk gradually, a pinch of salt, and then the oil. At this point, add the egg.
Start kneading with your hands. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and work it until a soft and homogeneous dough is formed.
Roll out the pastry with a rolling pin to create a rectangle of 10 inches in width and 14 inches in length.
Work the grated lemon zest with sugar for a few minutes. Then spread it evenly with your hands over the pastry rectangle.
Cut into strips about 1 1/4 inches wide.
Roll each strip onto itself to form the swirl. At the end, slightly wet with water using a finger to seal the closure.
Place the swirls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 356°F in a preheated static oven for about 20 minutes.
The lemon swirls are ready to be enjoyed! I hope you liked this recipe, see you next time.
