Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Cherry preserves
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the buttermilk, mixing gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender biscuits.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Sprinkle the dough with a little more flour and knead it a few times until it forms a smooth ball.
Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the cherry preserves evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other, creating a log shape.
Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, slice the log into 8 evenly sized pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
Sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through.
Allow the pinwheel cherry biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
