Ingredients
Christmas Biscuits:
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoon (1 ¼-ounce packet) instant yeast
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
- As needed cooking spray or vegetable oil
Sugarplum Jam:
- 3/4 cup plum jam
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- As needed White sparkling sanding sugar
Preparation
To prepare Christmas biscuits:
- 1 Combine milk, butter, flour, yeast, salt, baking powder and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Slowly add water and beat on high speed until batter is thick and smooth. Cover and let rest in a warm draft-free location for 1 hour, or until frothy bubbles form on surface.
- 2 Heat oiled griddle (or cast iron skillet) over medium-low heat. Arrange oiled crumpet rings on griddle; portion 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter (based on size of rings) into each crumpet ring. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tops are dry and covered with bubbles. Remove rings and flip each with a spatula. Cook an additional 5 minutes; remove from pan. Repeat with remaining batter.
To prepare jam:
- 1 Combine plum jam and orange marmalade in small bowl and gently stir to blend. Transfer to serving bowl; sprinkle sparkling sanding sugar over the top just before serving.
- 2 Serve Christmas biscuits warm or toasted with butter and sugarplum jam.
