Preserve-Filled Buttermilk Biscuits
Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Serves: 8

Ingredients:

4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
6 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 3/4 c. chilled buttermilk
8 Tbsp. St. Dalfour® raspberry, black cherry or apricot preserves

Instructions:
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl to blend.
Freeze mixture 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Transfer flour mixture to food processor. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Return mixture to bowl. Make well in center of mixture. Add buttermilk and stir just until blended and moist clumps form.

Turn dough onto floured work surface. Pat into 1-inch-thick round. Using 3-inch biscuit
cutter cut out biscuits. Transfer to large un-greased baking sheet, spacing 1-1/2 inches
apart. Re-shape scraps; cut out additional biscuits.

Insert thumb into center of each biscuit, to form 1-inch-diameter holes. Spoon 1 Tbsp.
jam into each hole. Bake biscuits until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
