Lemon Shortcakes with Lemon Curd & Berries
I just love Annalise - well her blog anyway. She has awesome photo skills and her pictures make you want to devour her treats on the spot.
Lemon has to be my all-time favorite flavors other than chocolate. The scent of a zested lemon just puts me in a state of true bliss! In the past I have always purchased lemon curd rather than taking the time to make it. I always thought it would be labor intensive, when in fact it is quite easy (and oh so creamy and dreamy!) I may never buy store bought curd again. I so want to make a lime curd next!
The scent of mixing in the lemon zest with the flour was enough to put me in this bliss state; you can imagine what the baked biscuits smell like. I so wish you can smell the aroma in my kitchen right now.
The instructions say to roll the dough out two-inches thick and cut the biscuits into three-inch squares. That would be impossible with the amount of dough I came out with. Not sure if it was a typo in the recipe or not. I would not have been able to get 8 biscuits from those measurements. I rolled my dough out to a 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and they turned out fine.
These were absolutely wonderful!! Thank you Annalise!
