Herb and Lemon Biscuits - A Delicious and Refreshing Treat
Looking for a tasty and refreshing snack that's easy to make? Try these delicious Herb and Lemon Biscuits! Made with a blend of fresh herbs and zesty lemon, these biscuits are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients (serves 6):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, and chives), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3/4 cup milk

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky texture.
- Use a light touch when mixing the dough. Overworking it can result in tough biscuits.
- For best results, use fresh herbs and lemon zest.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the chilled butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the chopped herbs and lemon zest.
5. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough comes together.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times.
7. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).
8. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
10. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
