Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Sugar and Citrus

    Stir in the sugar, Meyer lemon juice, and Meyer lemon zest until combined.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and gently mix until just combined. Do not overwork the dough.

  6. 6

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass.

  7. 7

    Bake the Biscuits

    Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
