Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour -- plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- chilled and cut into
1/4-inch pieces
6 tablespoons milk -- (1/4C + 2T)
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
1 tablespoon heavy cream -- for brushing
Preheat the oven to 375F with rack in center. Sift together flour,
sugar, salt, baking powder, ginger, cloves, and pepper. Using a
pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until the mixture
resembles coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together milk and molasses until completely
combined. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the
milk-molasses mixture.
Using a fork, stir the mixture until it almost comes together. Gently
bring the remaining smaller dough particles together with your
fingertips. Transfer dough to a very lightly floured surface, and pat
into a flattened circle about 6" in diameter and 3/4" thick. Cut
dough into rounds with a 2" cookie cutter. Gently press the excess
dough together, and cut several more biscuits. Gently press the
remaining excess dough together one more time, and cut one more biscuit.
Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet; generously brush
tops with cream. Bake until golden brown, 24 to 26 minutes. Place
biscuits on a wire rack to cool slightly.
