Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup jelly or jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- Cut the 1/4 cup of cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in 3/4 cup of milk. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
- Using a small spoon or your fingers, create a small indentation in the center of each biscuit. Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter, followed by 1 teaspoon of jelly or jam.
- Once all the biscuits are filled, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the peanut butter and jelly biscuits warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a delightful breakfast treat or a sweet snack!
Tips
- Keep your butter ice-cold for the flakiest, most tender biscuits possible. Cold butter creates those delightful layers that make biscuits irresistible.
- Don't overwork the dough! Mix just until the ingredients are combined to ensure light and fluffy biscuits.
- For extra flavor, try using different types of jelly or jam – raspberry, strawberry, or even exotic flavors can add a unique twist.
- Use a gentle touch when creating the indentations for peanut butter and jelly. Too much pressure can deflate the biscuit's beautiful rise.
- If you want a more intense peanut butter flavor, use natural, creamy peanut butter for the most authentic taste.
- Serve these biscuits warm for the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth experience. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a comforting afternoon snack.
