Method
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream butter, lard, and sugar for 2–3 minutes, only until smooth and slightly lighter.
- Beat in the egg, yolk, vanilla, and zest if using.
- Add the dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with enough milk to form a soft dough that is pliable but not sticky.
- Chill for 20 minutes, then roll between sheets of baking paper to about 6–8 mm thick.
- Cut into leaves or traditional biscuit shapes and score simple veins with a knife. Chill the tray for 10 minutes.
- Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 15–18 minutes, until set and lightly golden at the edges.
- Cool fully on a rack before packing airtight.
