Yield Makes 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup walnuts (3 1/4 oz), coarsely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
  • Pulse flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, butter, and 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in raisins and walnuts. Add cream and half-and-half and stir until just combined.
  • Drop 4 mounds of batter (about 1/2 cup each) onto each sheet, leaving 1/2 to 2 inches between mounds.
  • Stir together remaining 1/4 cup sugar and orange zest and sprinkle over tops of mounds.
  • Bake biscuits, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes total. Transfer to a rack and cool to warm, about 10 minutes.

These biscuits were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.
