Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
  2. Place flour in large bowl. Add lemon zest and whisk to incorporate.
  3. With a large wooden spoon, gradually stir in cream to form a sticky dough. Then turn dough onto lightly floured surface and fold twice gently to form a ball. Do not knead. Gently pat dough to a generous ½'' thickness. Cut with floured 2 ¼" round biscuit cutter, leaving as little dough between cuts as possible. Take care to push the cutter straight down into the dough, without twisting the cutter. This will ensure a higher rise + layers in the biscuits. Gather remaining dough and pat again to a generous ½'' thickness. You should get 8 to 9 biscuits with this size biscuit cutter. Discard remaining scraps. 
  4. Place biscuits on baking sheet, about 2'' apart.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, water, and milk. Lightly brush tops of biscuits with egg mixture. Then lightly sprinkle tops with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake for about 8 minutes, or until tops are golden brown. Serve hot and fresh.
