I tried these after seeing the recipe on the back of a Land O Lakes low-fat half-n-half container and they are yummy.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon coarse sugar or 1 tablespoon decorator sugar

4. Add to flour mixture.
5. Stir just until flour mixture is moistened.
