Looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will impress your guests? Look no further than these Blackberry Lemon Biscuits! This dish is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a dinner party or just looking for a sweet treat to enjoy with your family.

Ingredients (serves 6):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blackberries

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is cold before you start mixing the dough. This will help create a flaky texture.
- Don't overwork the dough. Mix until just combined to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the chilled butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and lemon zest.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the blackberries.
7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
8. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
9. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.
