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.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter
150g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 cup sour cream
230g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1/2 cup white rice flour
90g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the Butter:
- 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.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and white rice flour.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
5. Form the Dough:
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Shape the Biscuits:
- 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.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. Cool and Serve:
- 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!
