Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Using a box grater, grate the cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients. Alternatively, cut the butter into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the chopped fresh dill and lemon zest to the mixture, stirring to combine evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to create a quick buttermilk substitute.
Gradually pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into a 1-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting for the best rise. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Serve warm with butter, a drizzle of honey, or alongside your favorite main dish.
