Lemon Poppy Seed Biscuits

Lemon Poppy Seed Biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack. The combination of lemon and poppy seeds creates a unique and refreshing flavor that will leave you wanting more.

To make these biscuits, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, add the buttermilk, lemon zest, and poppy seeds to the mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Once done, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Lemon Poppy Seed Biscuits are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. They have a light and fluffy texture with a slightly crunchy exterior. The lemon zest adds a refreshing citrus flavor while the poppy seeds give a subtle nutty taste.
In two words, this dish can be described as 'Lemon Biscuits'. The three main ingredients are flour, lemon zest, and poppy seeds.
To make these biscuits even more appetizing, you can serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of lemon glaze. Enjoy!
