Rose hips are living in the ice age, too.

Lime Meltaways



Made Lime Meltaways. Were delicious!

300 g margarine (Alsan)
70 g powdered sugar
lime zest from 4 limes
60 ml lime juice
1 tbls vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
550 g flour
50 g starch
1 tsp salt

Mix margarine and sugar for 5 minutes until mixture turns white and fluffy. Ad zests, lime juice and vanilla, then gently stir in the flour. Don't knead the dough for too long!
Divide dough into four parts, form rolls and put them into the fridge for at least one hour.
Then just cut slices from the rolls and bake for about 15 minutes (gas mark four). 
Mix powdered sugar with a little vanilla sugar and roll the still warm cookies in it.
They taste the best after 2-3 days in a cookie box.
