Strawberry Jam Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• In a wide bowl, crush strawberries in batches until you have 4 cups of mashed berry. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F (105 degrees C). Transfer to hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch headspace, and seal. Process in a water bath. If the jam is going to be eaten right away, don't bother with processing, and just refrigerate.

Steps:

• Jam: Cook strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 4 cups, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely. (Jam can be stored in refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
• Biscuits: Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third and a baking sheet on rack below. Whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until largest pieces are the size of peas. Mix in cream with a fork until dough starts to come together but is still crumbly. Turn out onto a work surface; knead once or twice to make smooth. Pat dough into an 8-inch round, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
• Spread 3 cups jam in bottom of a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate or skillet. Arrange dough on top in a round, then brush with cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until bubbling and golden (if top is browning too quickly, tent with foil), about 50 minutes. Let cool before serving with remaining jam and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip each biscuit in the melted butter and roll into the cinnamon sugar. Place the coated biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your thumb or the bottom of a small tumbler to make an impression into each biscuit. Fill each indentation with about 2 teaspoons of jam. Bake until golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Toss the pieces of butter into the flour mixture to coat. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture is mealy and small pieces of pea-size butter remain.
• Add the diced strawberries and toss with a fork to combine. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add 4 tablespoons of the heavy cream and 1/4 cup water. Continue tossing with the fork until the dough is just evenly damp and shaggy, being careful not to overwork the dough too much. Add 1 to 3 teaspoons more water, as needed, if the dough is still too dry to work with.
• Drop 6 mounds of dough (each a generous 1/3 cup) onto the baking sheet, leaving at least 1 1/2 inches of space between each mound and gently padding any stray bits of dough back into place as you work. Lightly brush the tops with 1 tablespoon heavy cream and bake until deep golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
• Add the confectioners' sugar to a small bowl, and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream, adding more if needed to make a thick icing that is just thin enough to drizzle. Spoon over the warm biscuits; serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Rub the flour, sugar and butter together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can do this in the food processor. Add enough egg to bring the mixture together to form a stiff dough.
• Flour your hands and shape the dough into a tube, about 5cm in diameter. Cut into 2cm-thick slices and place on a large baking sheet. Space them out as the mixture will spread when baking.
• Make a small indentation in the middle of each slice with the end of a wooden spoon, and drop a tsp of jam in the centre. Bake for 10-15 mins until slightly risen and just golden. Cool on a wire rack.
