For the Biscuits
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the flour, lemon zest, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Pulse for 30 seconds until everything is evenly combined.

  8. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake until the biscuits are medium golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
For the Strawberries + Blueberries

  2. Before serving, toss the marinated strawberries with the blueberries
For the Cream
  1. Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla bean until medium stiff peaks form and then set aside.
To Assemble
