To make the biscuits, beat together the butter, sugar and lemon zest using electric beaters. Add the egg and beat again. Gently mix in the flours and poppy seeds until a dough forms. Form the dough into 2 discs, wrap tightly in clingfilm and chill for 2 hours.
Roll the discs out between two sheets of baking paper to approximately 1/2cm thickness. Use a round 6cm cutter to cut out biscuits, then cut out 2.5cm holes using a smaller cutter in the middle of 1/2 of them. Put onto baking-paper-lined trays and chill for at least 20 minutes.
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and bake the biscuits for 10-15 minutes or until pale golden in colour. They will still be soft, so leave to harden and cool on the trays.
To make the filling, beat together the icing sugar, lemon zest and juice, and butter in a bowl.
Spread 1 tsp of filling on one side of the biscuits without the holes, making sure it reaches the edges. Lightly spread ½ tsp lemon curd on top. Press on a biscuit with a hole so it’s neatly filled with curd and sandwiched together. Repeat until all the biscuits are filled.
