About the recipe
These protein-rich lemon curd biscuits are a family-friendly, freezer-friendly snack made with nourishing ingredients like almond meal, spelt flour, and real lemon. Gluten-free option included!
A delicious, zesty twist on a classic treat! These lemon curd biscuits strike the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, with a rich buttery base and a silky, golden lemon centre. Made with wholesome ingredients like almond meal, egg yolks, and just the right touch of honey, they’re protein-packed and nourishing enough to share with little ones (if they make it that far!).
Perfect for morning tea, lunchboxes, or a wholesome dessert, these biscuits are easy to make and freeze beautifully—though we doubt they’ll last that long.

Ingredients
Lemon Curd:
5 egg yolks
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp lemon juice (roughly 1 juicy lemon)
120g butter
Biscuit Dough:
1 cup almond meal
¾ cup white spelt flour
50g butter
1 egg
1½ tbsp honey or maple syrup
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Method
Preheat oven to 170°C (fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Make the Lemon Curd:
In a small saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, honey, lemon juice and butter.
Place over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (around 5–7 minutes).
It’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
In a bowl, mix together almond meal, spelt flour, baking powder and salt.
Gently melt the butter and honey together on the stove over low heat.
Crack the egg into the dry mix and stir, then pour in the melted butter and honey mixture. Mix to combine.
Shape the Biscuits:
Roll the dough into small balls and place on the prepared tray. Press each one down slightly and use your finger to make a small indent in the centre of each.
Fill & Bake:
Spoon a little lemon curd into each indent. Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Ingredient Swaps:
-
Gluten-Free? Use 1¼ cups almond meal + ¾ cup tapioca flour in place of spelt
-
Dairy-Free? Use coconut oil in place of butter (texture may vary slightly)
-
No honey? Maple syrup works well
