Perfect Biscuits

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a large bowl. Add butter and use a pastry cutter to cut butter in the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.

Mix eggs and buttermilk in a separate bowl until combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons and set aside. Stir remaining egg mixture in the flour mixture. Mix until dough comes together. Do not over-mix.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough becomes soft and smooth, but not sticky. Flatten the dough to 2 inches thick. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits, and place them on a baking tray. Brush the biscuit tops with the reserved egg mixture.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden. Serve warm with whipped cream and strawberry jam.
