STRAWBERRY JAM BISCUITS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook strawberries and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until jamlike in consistency, 12–15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lime zest and juice. Pour into a shallow bowl and let cool.
• Preheat oven to 400°. 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-inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch 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. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if using, and remaining jam.
• DO AHEAD: Jam can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

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.
