Lemon Gems

My children call these fried-egg biscuits and if you look at the photo you’ll see why. But that doesn’t convey the desirably acid intensity of their lemoniness. Of course, they are also sweet, but if you use good lemon curd (or make your own), they won’t be too sweet: you will get that necesssary contrast between sharp, shining jellied curd, and buttery, sugared dough surround.
