With the added richness of creme fraiche and the bright flavors of lemon zest, these biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. They are easy to make and will impress your family and friends with their unique and refreshing taste.
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!
