Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour -- plus more
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter -- (1 stick), cut
into 1/2" pieces
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg -- beaten to blend
1 tablespoon raw sugar
Preheat oven to 400F. Whisk sugar, baking powder, salt, and 2 1/4
cups flour in a large bowl. Add butter and lime zest and blend with
your fingertips until coarse crumbs form. Add buttermilk and, using a
fork, mix until just combined. Transfer to a lightly floured surface.
Gently knead just until a shaggy, moist dough forms, about 4 times.
Roll out dough about 1/2" thick. Using a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter or
inverted glass, cut out rounds. Gather scraps and repeat rolling and
cutting until all dough is used.
Place biscuits on a parchment - lined baking sheet. Using your thumb,
make a large divot in the center of each biscuit; brush with egg and
sprinkle liberally with raw sugar. Spoon a scant 1 teaspoon
strawberry jam into each divot.
Bake biscuits until golden brown, 18 - 22 minutes.
Makes 20
Description:
"The key to a tender biscuit is to handle the dough as little as possible."
