Ingredients

  • 2 cups
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2" cubes, chilled in freezer for 10 minutes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup thinly sliced stemmed dried figs (about 2 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
  • All-purpose flour (for surface)
  • 1 large egg, beaten to blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Pulse BA Biscuit Mix and butter in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to a large bowl. Add buttermilk; mix to just combine. Add figs and zest; mix to just combine. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; gather into a ball. Knead 4-5 times. Dust with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Roll out to a 7" square about 3/4" thick. Cut in half. Cut each half crosswise into 4 rectangles.
  2. Transfer shortcakes to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with raw sugar.
  3. Bake shortcakes until firm and golden brown, 13-15 minutes. Let cool slightly on a wire rack. Split; fill with jam and whipped cream.
