Strawberry Milkshake with Sugar Biscuit Topping
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup granulated sugar (depending on sweetness of berries)
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 10 ounces premium vanilla ice cream
- Fresh whole strawberry, for garnish, optional
- 1/2 Sugar Biscuit, crumbled, for topping, recipe follows
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus 4 tablespoons, melted
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- Heavy cream, for brushing
- Granulated sugar, for sprinkling
- For the strawberry base: Put the strawberries in a bowl, add the sugar and gently stir to combine.
- Let the berries sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, until they start to soften and release their juices.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium nonreactive saucepan, add the jam and cook over medium-high heat until slightly softened.
- Coarsely mash the berries using a potato masher or the back of a fork and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until cold and thickened further, at least 2 hours.
- For the milkshake: Combine the milk and 1/2 cup strawberry base in the blender and blend for 5 seconds.
- Add the ice cream and blend until smooth, about 10 seconds.
- Top with more strawberry base, the Sugar Biscuit and a strawberry for garnish, if using.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Using a dough cutter, combine until the ingredients are incorporated.
- Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top of the flour mixture and continue to combine until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add the buttermilk and mix just until the dough begins to come together.
- Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter.
- Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick.
- Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out the biscuits.
- Press together the scraps of dough and repeat the process.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake the biscuits until lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush the tops with the remaining melted butter.
- Yield: 8 biscuits.
