Blueberry biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1½ teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, egg, milk, almond extract and lemon zest. Mix well after the addition of each ingredient. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; blend into the sugar mixture. Fold in the blueberries. Cover and chill for 4 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 190°C. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking trays, about 4 cm apart.
3. Bake 12–15 minutes in the preheated oven. Let the biscuits cool on the baking trays for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
