Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Cherry preserves
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the buttermilk, mixing gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender biscuits.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Sprinkle the dough with a little more flour and knead it a few times until it forms a smooth ball.

Step 6

Roll the dough out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Spread the cherry preserves evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Carefully roll the dough up tightly from one long edge to the other, creating a log shape.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or dough cutter, slice the log into 8 evenly sized pinwheels.

Step 10

Arrange the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.

Step 11

Sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar for added sweetness and crunch.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through.

Step 13

Allow the pinwheel cherry biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
