Directions for: Nonna's Lemon Ricotta Biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

tsp salt

1 cup sugar, plus 1 tsp or more as needed for sprinkling

cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 Tbsp lemon zest, finely grated

1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese

1 large egg

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

tsp almond extract

cup almonds, thinly sliced

Directions

1. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup sugar, butter, and lemon zest in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the ricotta. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and almond extract. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended (the batter will be thick and fluffy).

3. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the almonds and then the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar over the muffins. Bake until the muffins just become pale golden on top, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
