1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

1

Beat sugar, egg and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in buttermilk on low speed.

Meanwhile, for the lemon sugar, combine sugar and lemon peel in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Roll dough into a log on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 1/2 inch-thick slices. Using floured hands, roll each portion into a ball. Press down gently on each ball to flatten slightly.
