For the best flavor, use high-quality butter and fresh lemon zest. Sifting the flour ensures a tender crumb. Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough biscuits. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the biscuits from spreading too much during baking. These biscuits are delicious on their own, but they also pair well with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.
