Ingredients:

2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1.50 cups sugar
300g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1/3 cup sour cream
72g
2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
2 cups powdered sugar
320g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
3. Cut in the Butter:
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, and lemon juice.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but still manageable.
6. Shape and Bake:
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Prepare the Glaze:
While the biscuits are baking, combine the powdered sugar with enough lemon juice to achieve a thick but pourable consistency. Start with the remaining lemon juice and mix thoroughly.
9. Glazing:
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. While still warm, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of each biscuit.
10. Cool Completely:
Allow the biscuits to cool completely, letting the glaze set.
11. Serve:
Enjoy your freshly baked lemon sour cream biscuits with tea, coffee, or on their own as a delightful treat.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before mixing it with the flour to create a flaky texture.

- Do not overmix the dough; mix until just combined to avoid tough biscuits.

- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding some lemon zest to the dough.

- Use a cookie cutter to shape the biscuits for uniformity and even baking.

- Chill the dough for a few minutes before baking to help the biscuits maintain their shape.

By following these simple steps, you can create a batch of delicious lemon sour cream biscuits that are both tangy and sweet. They are perfect for any occasion and will surely become a favorite in your household. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a cup of tea or coffee.
