To make the biscuits:
Preheat the oven to 180˚C.

Then add to the dry ingredients and mix well using a spatula. Roll into small balls and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and cool on a wire rack before serving.These keep well in an airtight container for a week.
Serve the lemon posset topped with a few fresh berries, and a sprig of mint or lemon balm, with the biscuits on the side.
