Instructions

Shortcake Biscuits

  2. Grate in the 1/4 cup of butter and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, mix with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
  3. Pour in the 1 cup + 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir the dough until it just comes together; use clean hands if needed to bring the dough together.
  4. Press the dough out into a square about 3/4 inch thick and slice into 3-inch round circles. Cut the biscuits out, gather up the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
  5. Place the biscuits into the cast iron skillet, brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown on top.
