How to Make Lemon Currant Biscuits

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