Light and fluffy Lemon Cream Biscuits are rich with cream and lightly fragrant with lemon zest. Just a handful of simple ingredients are needed to make extra flaky biscuits.

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups White Lily Self-Rising Flour
1 ½ tablespoons loosely-packed lemon zest (you'll need about 2 large lemons)
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon milk
coarse sparkling sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 500°F.
Place flour in large bowl. Add lemon zest and whisk to incorporate.
With a large wooden spoon, gradually stir in cream to form a sticky dough. Then turn dough onto lightly floured surface and fold twice gently to form a ball. Do not knead. Gently pat dough to a generous ½'' thickness. Cut with floured 2 ¼" round biscuit cutter, leaving as little dough between cuts as possible. Take care to push the cutter straight down into the dough, without twisting the cutter. This will ensure a higher rise + layers in the biscuits. Gather remaining dough and pat again to a generous ½'' thickness. You should get 8 to 9 biscuits with this size biscuit cutter. Discard remaining scraps.
Place biscuits on baking sheet, about 2'' apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg, water, and milk. Lightly brush tops of biscuits with egg mixture. Then lightly sprinkle tops with coarse sugar.
Bake for about 8 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Serve hot and fresh.

Notes

These biscuits are wonderful with whipped lemon-vanilla bean butter!
