Preparation

In large bowl and using wooden spoon, cream together butter, sugar, lemon rind and salt.

In separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rice flour, poppy seeds and baking powder; stir into butter mixture to combine. Knead 5 times to make smooth dough.

On waxed paper, roll out dough to scant 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. Using 1-5/8-inch (4.3 cm) fluted cutter or sharp knife, cut into squares, rerolling scraps once.

Place, 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until light golden, about 16 minutes. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes; transfer to racks and let cool completely.
