Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Whisk together to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
In a separate small bowl, combine the heavy cream and lemon juice. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to slightly thicken.
Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it forms a cohesive ball. Be careful not to over-knead, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Pat the dough out into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a floured round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps together and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
