For 5 entremets

Lemon biscuit
✔50g flour
✔35g caster sugar
✔1 teaspoon baking powder
✔1/2 egg

Place the flour, pinch of salt, vanilla and baking powder in a bowl and mix. In another bowl, cream the butter and mix with the caster sugar. Add the egg. Add half the flour/yeast mixture. Mix well. Add the zest of one lemon, washed beforehand, then its juice. Mix well. Add the rest of the flour mixture. Mix again.

✔12g flour
✔12g melted butter
✔25g egg white
✔Lemon rind

Mix all the ingredients together. Line the Pavoni butterfly mould. Smooth with an angled spatula to remove any excess. Bake in a hot oven at 170°C for 6 minutes (may vary depending on your oven). Once out of the oven, remove from the mould. Be careful, they harden very quickly and become brittle. Handle with care.
