Method

Biscuits Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the biscuits will bake evenly and rise nicely.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add 0.5 cups of cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Milk

    Pour in 0.75 cups of milk gradually, stirring until the mixture just comes together. Do not overmix; it should be slightly lumpy.

  5. 5

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  6. 6

    Bake the Biscuits

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Serve

  1. 7

    Prepare Jellies

    While the biscuits are baking, prepare your jellies. You will need 0.5 cups each of strawberry jelly, blueberry jalapeño jelly, and mango habañero jelly.

  2. 8

    Plate the Biscuits

    Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

  3. 9

    Serve with Jellies

    Serve the warm biscuits with small bowls of each jelly for dipping or spreading. Enjoy your delightful combination of flavors!
