After years of perfecting her recipe for a flaky, fluffy and tender pastry, Lesley Riley has become known as "the biscuit darling."
The founder of Mama's Biscuits joined "Good Morning America" to share a sweet, seasonal rendition of her recipe below that's a riff on her classic version that traces back to her grandmother's original method.
Her company takes pride in elevating the southern style biscuit with a "northern flair" and sell biscuits with a range of flavors from sweet to savory.
Ingredients
1 can of pre-made biscuit dough
2 cups blackberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoons honey
2 mint sprigs (chopped)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 cup of water
Grand Marnier whipped cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon grand Grand Marnier
Directions
In a small bowl, mix blackberries, sugar, honey, mint, lemon juice and water. Stir and refrigerate for at least two hours or until ready to use.
For the whipped cream: Use an electric mixer to whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar and Grand Marnier until soft peaks form.
To serve: Split each biscuit in half. Layer biscuits, with blackberries, and whip cream, top with the second biscuit, then more blackberries, and whipped cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Mama's Tip: This recipe will work with any fruit (strawberries, peaches, blueberries, cherries)
