Scale
STRAWBERRY BASIL FILLING
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (6 grams) lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, minced
- 1 tablespoon (8 grams) cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 tablespoon (16 grams) lemon juice
LEMON HONEY BISCUITS
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (18 grams) cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons (8 grams) baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup (83 grams) buttermilk
- 1/4 cup (84 grams) honey
- 4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon (8 grams) lemon zest
- turbinado sugar or any coarse sugar
Instructions
- FILLING: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place four 4-inch (10-cm) ramekins or one 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate over a baking sheet; set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and lemon zest together. Using your finger tips, rub the lemon into the sugar to release its natural oils. Mix in basil, cornstarch and salt.
- Add the sugar-mixture to the strawberries and gently toss mixture to evenly coat the fruit. Add lemon juice and mix. Divide the strawberry mixture evenly into each ramekin.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until strawberries begin to bubble.
- BISCUITS: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, honey, butter and lemon zest. NOTE: do not combine the dry and wet ingredients until after the strawberries are done baking.
- Once strawberries are done baking, remove from oven and increase temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Combine wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until no dry pockets remain. The batter will resemble a crackly sticky dough.
- Evenly divide dough over the baked strawberries. If using a pie plate, separate each dough about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart from each other. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked thoroughly. Transfer ramekins to a wire rack and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. Best served warm. ENJOY!
