In a large bowl, mix sugar and eggs until fluffy.

Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and knead until uniform. If needed, add the milk to bring it together to form a firm, sticky dough.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the dough into an even layer across the sheet.
Bake at 175℃ for 15-20 minutes, then leave it to cool.
For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Then, gradually add lemon juice and mix well until you get a slightly runny icing.
Using a brush, spread the icing evenly across the baked sheet.
Once the icing has set completely, cut into squares of 3x3cm and store in an airtight container.
