How to Make Lemon Currant Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the currants and lemon zest.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 2cm thick rectangle.
  8. Use a 5cm cookie cutter or knife to cut out biscuits.
  9. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking tray before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite spread!
