Buttermilk biscuit with jam, recipes below
In July historically parents and grandparents sent children to the family garden to harvest produce that could be canned and preserved. In Stamps, Arkansas, "the customs was to can everything that could possibly be preserved," recalls poet Maya Angelou. Women spent hours in kitchens without air conditioning making certain that their family "had enough to eat in the winter, when most of the fruits and vegetables had to come out of a jar," says Civil Rights leader Ralph Abernathy who grew up on a family farm in Marengo County, Alabama. One of my favorite tastes is a flaky buttered biscuit with raspberry preserves on it. It is raspberry season now and I will be heading out with my four and seven year children to forage for the sweetest ones on the vines. Here is my buttermilk biscuit recipe, a gluten free biscuit recipe and sugar free jam recipe too, and links to several traditional jam recipes:
Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe
Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups spelt flour 1/8 teaspoon baking soda to up the flour rise/ or use 2 cups self-rising flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup sugar
4 tablespoon vegetable shortening
2/3 cup heavy or whipping cream/half and half works too
1 cup buttermilk, or until dough is like cottage cheese
1 cup whole-wheat flour for shaping the wet dough into biscuits
2 tablespoons melted butter to brush over the baked biscuits
Method
Preheat the oven to 425; spray cook sheet or cast iron skillet with non-stick spray; combine dry ingredients except for the 1 cup flour for shaping the dough; stir in buttermilk and cream and let stand for 2-3 minutes. Flour your hands and softly shape your biscuits. If you’re rushing, use an ice-cream scooper. Place the biscuits tightly against each other on wax paper so they will rise up instead of out. Sprinkle with flour then place then on the sprayed surface for baking. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with the melted butter and serve, makes about a dozen biscuits.
