- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, seeds and lemon zest until blended well. Add to the dry ingredients and blend until smooth. If the dough seems a bit stiff, add extra milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- On a floured surface, roll dough out 5mm thick and cut using a 5cm round pastry/cookie cutter. Place biscuits 5cm apart on greased baking trays.
- Bake in preheated 190 C / Gas 5 oven for 7 to 10 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
