Instructions
Biscuits
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest.
- Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix into the dry ingredients. The butter should be the size of peas.
- Add the buttermilk and use a spoon to combine. The dough should be wet and sticky, so add more buttermilk as needed. DO NOT OVERMIX.
- Use a muffin scoop or spoon to drop the biscuits on the baking sheets. Top the biscuits with some sugar.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Strawberries
- Mix the strawberries in a medium bowl with the strawberry jam. Put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
