Ingredients
-
2 cups
flour
-
1/4 cup
sugar
-
2 teaspoons
baking powder
-
4 ounces
cold homemade butter
-
3/4 cup
buttermilk
-
1 tablespoon
lemon zest
-
1 cup
blackberries
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder until well mixed.
-
Cut the butter into very small pieces and add to the bowl. Using your hands, work the butter into the flour until the pieces are small and the mixture has a grainy texture.
-
Stir in the buttermilk, lemon zest, and blackberries and mix until a cohesive dough has formed.
-
Using two spoons, drop dough into approximately 2” diameter mounds on the prepared baking sheet - you should end up with about 9 biscuits total.
-
Bake biscuits until they are just starting to brown on the tops, about 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with plenty of butter.
