Method
Whisk the eggs with the sugar until doubled in volume, then add the oil and lemon juice.
Gradually add the flour, starch and baking powder to form a very soft, spongy dough.
Shape small pieces on a baking tray and bake at a low heat until cooked through without browning (they should stay pale).
Leave to cool; these cookies are known for their crumbly texture that melts in the mouth.
