Jellied Biscuits Recipes

JELLIED BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, stir quickly with a fork just until mixed. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Make a deep thumbprint in tops; fill each with 1 teaspoon of jelly. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until biscuits are browned.

JELLY BEAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter 2 cookie sheets.
• Beat butter and sugars together using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in egg, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir in flour and oats until just blended. Fold in jelly beans.
• Drop rounded spoonfuls of the cookie dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 9 to 10 minutes.

JELLY JAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425* F.
• Do not mix your wet and dry ingredients together until the oven is very hot or you will not have fluffy biscuits.
• After the oven is screaming hot, sift dry ingredients together and stir to make sure they are mixed well.
• Add shortening to the biscuit mix and cut in with a pastry cutter or two knives until the lumps are as small peas.
• Add the cold milk and stir until it barely clings together.
• By hand, knead three or four times.
• Turn out onto a floured board and pat into a disk about 1/2 inch high.
• Cut with a floured jelly jar ( 2 1/2"), give the tops a gentle poke, re-roll scraps and cut, sprinkle each top with a little flour.
• Place biscuits on a sheet pan or cookie sheet with parchment. The closer you put them together the softer they are. I don't let mine touch usually.
• Put into the center of the oven.
• Bake about 11 minutes. Depending on the size of the biscuits you can bake them from 8 to 15 minutes. So keep an eye on them.
• This recipe can easily double or even quadruple.

JAM FILLED BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl to blend. Freeze flour mixture 1 hour. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Transfer flour mixture to processor. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Return mixture to large bowl. Make well in center of mixture. Add chilled buttermilk and stir just until blended and moist clumps form. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Gather dough together and pat into 1-inch-thick round (do not knead). Using 2 3/4-inch-diameter biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits. Transfer buttermilk biscuits to large ungreased baking sheet, spacing 1§ inches apart. Gather scraps and re-pat to 1-inch thickness, then cut out additional biscuits, for a total of 9.
• Insert thumb into center of 1 biscuit, making deep indentation that almost reaches bottom, then push toward sides of biscuit to form 1-inch-diameter hole. Repeat with remaining biscuits. Spoon 1 tablespoon jam into each hole. Bake jam-filled biscuits until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve biscuits warm.
