Lime Biscuits

I whipped these up one night to go with our Mexican chicken stew, but they would be equally yummy for a fun twist on strawberry shortcake! The lime flavor is refreshing but not overpowering.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 lime, zested
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

Mix milk and lime juice together in a bowl.

Step 4

Whisk flour, baking powder, lime zest, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl; mix butter into flour mixture using two knives or a pastry blender until crumbly. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just moistened.

Step 5

Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead a few times. Gently shape dough into a 3/4-inch thick disk; cut into 12 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch floured cutter or the rim of a small juice glass. Reshape scraps as needed. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet.
