**Feet**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 3/4 cup buttermilk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 cup fresh blueberries
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat and Prepare**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. **Mix Dry Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. **Incorporate Butter**: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. **Combine Wet Ingredients**: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
5. **Bring It Together**: Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
6. **Add Blueberries**: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries into the batter. Be gentle to avoid breaking the berries.
7. **Form the Dough**: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Pat it down to about 1-inch thick.
8. **Cut Out Shapes**: Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather remaining dough scraps, pat down, and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
9. **Bake**: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
10. **Cool and Enjoy**: Remove from the oven and let the “Feet” cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with a cup of tea or coffee for a perfect cozy treat.
