Preparation
Using a spoon, cream the sugar and butter.
Once you have a grainy dough, add the eggs and grated lemon peel.
Continue kneading the dough, gradually incorporating the sifted flour and a pinch of salt.
Knead the dough until smooth and uniform. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Once the dough is firm, shape it into a log or brick.
Carefully cover in plastic wrap and let dough rest for at least two hours in the fridge before use.
