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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, combine the heavy cream and lemon juice. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 6

Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough begins to come together.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
