Sift dry ingredients together. Cream butter and lemon rind; add
sugar gradually, creaming well. Add egg and walnuts; beat well.
Blend in dry ingredients gradually; mix well. Chill on hour for
easy handling. Shape into a roll about 1½ inches in diameter
and 8 inches long. Chill for at least two hours. Cut chilled
dough into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Mold each into a pear
shape, tapering on end. Place on ungreased baking sheet and flatten
with palm of hand to resemble leaves. Veins can be marked with
a 3" x 5" card folded in half to make a V. Press down
center vein with edge of card. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
Cool. Sprinkle with sugar, brushing off excess, or frost half
of each leaf with chocolate. |
