This is my mother’s recipe for Vassilopita, the New Year’s rich and buttery cake that hid the lucky coin. Decorate with almonds, if you like, or simply sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar.
Serve on its own for breakfast or as a snack with coffee, tea or orange juice. Great with a glass of fruity, sparkling wine!

Traditionally these fragrant cookies are scented with orange flower water, but I prefer to use the very aromatic zest of my lemons. They can also be made with tangerines, when in season. I use lemons from my garden or organic lemons in my recipes. If you cannot find organic lemons, wash your lemons thoroughly.
