Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 Egg (beaten, for brushing)
- 0.5 teaspoons Coarse sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and fresh thyme leaves.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the lemon zest to evenly distribute the flavor.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture and gently stir with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick square.
Using a knife or dough cutter, slice the dough into small bite-sized squares, roughly 1.5 inches wide.
Place the biscuit bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow for slight spreading.
Brush the tops of each biscuit with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm or at room temperature.
