Petite Creme Biscuits with Jam Recipe

Petite Creme Biscuits with Jam

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 5.3 oz container of Petite Creme (I used the vanilla flavor.)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 4 tablespoons cold water
• 1 large egg, beaten, for brushing on biscuits
• Sugar, for garnish

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
•  In one bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using your fingers, add in the butter. Work the dough until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
•  In another bowl, whisk together Petite Creme, egg, and water. Add liquid ingredients to flour mixture, stirring until dough barely comes together. Make sure not to over-stir! Transfer the mixture to a floured countertop and knead until the dough comes together. Don't overwork the dough.
•  Roll out the dough into a 1-inch thick circle using a rolling pin. Cut into 2×2-inch squares. Combine dough scraps and roll out again to make remaining biscuits.
•  Place biscuits on prepared baking sheets, brush with the egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite Bonne Maman jam!
