Best Jellied Biscuits Recipes

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 BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dip each biscuit in the melted butter and roll into the cinnamon sugar. Place the coated biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your thumb or the bottom of a small tumbler to make an impression into each biscuit. Fill each indentation with about 2 teaspoons of jam. Bake until golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes. Serve warm.

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.

JAM FILLED BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolks. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie. Fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

SUPER EASY JELLY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oil.
• Flatten biscuits (I usually just flatten in the palm of my hand, but this causes them to be a little doughy in the center, to prevent that, flatten until the dough is almost see through).
• Place spoonful of jelly (I usually use about 2 teaspoons) on to 10 flattened biscuits.
• Brush egg whites around the outside of jellied biscuits.
• Place the rest of the flattened biscuits on top and press around the edges to secure.
• Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towel.
• Enjoy!
