Biscuits with Bourbon-Blueberry Quick Jam

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp bourbon
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Biscuits
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, chopped
  • 2/3 cup cold whole milk
  • 1/3 cup cold heavy cream

To make the jam, combine all of the jam ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stirring often, cook the mixture until thick, roughly 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Store in a covered jar, in the fridge, for up to a month.
To make the biscuits, preheat the oven to 425ºF.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients. Combine.
Add the cold chopped butter, and with your hands, break apart the butter into pea-sized pieces.
Pour in the cold milk and cream and combine until a shaggy mess forms.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured counter. Shape into a 5 x 8" rectangle. Cut the dough in half and stack the two. Repeat 5 more times.
Shape the dough into a 5 x 8" rectangle. Cut the dough into 6 squares. Place on the baking sheet and brush the tops with heavy cream.
Bake for 13 - 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm with blueberry jam, butter, and whipped cream.
