Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chilled, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and white rice flour.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle roughly 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll scraps and cut out additional biscuits as needed.
- 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 let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or butter.
Tips:
- Use cold butter to ensure your biscuits turn out flaky and tender.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, you can add a bit more lemon zest or even a small amount of lemon juice.
- Make sure not to overmix the dough as this can result in tough biscuits. Mix just until the ingredients come together.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to help the biscuits maintain their shape and rise better.
- You can brush the tops of the biscuits with a little bit of milk or butter before baking to achieve a golden-brown finish.
- Serve the biscuits warm with a dollop of lemon curd or a light honey drizzle for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy your delicious lemon creme fraiche biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. Their light and zesty flavor is sure to bring a smile to your face. These biscuits are not only a treat for your taste buds but also a simple and rewarding baking project. Happy baking!
