Items needed to answer the question, How do I bake Butterfly Biscuits with Jam Wings. Items include: All-Purpose Flour Powdered Sugar Salt Butter Ice Water Jam

All-Purpose Flour 2 cups

Butter 1 cup (chilled)

Take note
Be careful not to let the biscuits fly away before you get a chance to enjoy them! Also, be cautious while handling hot baking trays.

1

Mixing the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.

2

Cutting in the Butter

Add 1 cup of chilled butter to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Don't get too carried away, we're aiming for pastry, not grated cheese!

3

Bringing the Dough Together

Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of ice water and knead the mixture lightly until it forms a smooth dough. It should come together easily, but if it feels a little too crumbly, add another tablespoon of ice water.

4

Chilling the Dough

Shape the dough into a flat disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This rest gives the dough a chance to relax and chill out before we roll it out.

5

Rolling and Cutting

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out butterfly shapes using a cookie cutter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.

6

Adding the Jam Wings

Take a teaspoonful of your favorite jam and place it onto one side of each butterfly biscuit. Be generous but not excessive—remember, too much jam can make the biscuits goopy!

7

Folding and Pressing

Fold the butterfly biscuit in half, sandwiching the jam inside. Gently press around the edges to seal the butterfly shape and secure the jam wings.

8

Baking and Golden Transformation

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the butterfly biscuits turn a golden hue. Keep an eye on them, as they can quickly go from golden to overbaked!

9

Cooling and Ready to Take Flight

Remove the baked butterfly biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking tray. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, they're ready to be devoured!
