These Golden Marmalade Breakfast Squares are a delightful twist on classic breakfast biscuits, featuring a sweet and buttery marmalade layer topped with a tender biscuit crust.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve an even bake.
In a mixing bowl, combine the marmalade and butter until smooth.
Soften the butter slightly for easier mixing.
Spread the marmalade mixture evenly in an 8x8 inch baking pan.
Use a spatula to ensure an even layer.
In another bowl, mix the baking mix and cold water until a soft dough forms.
Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently about 5 times.
Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking.
Roll the dough into an 8-inch square and place it over the marmalade mixture in the pan.
Ensure the dough covers the marmalade layer completely.
Cut the dough into 12 squares using a knife.
Cutting before baking makes serving easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the biscuit layer.
Invert the pan onto a serving plate and serve warm.
Use a heatproof plate to avoid accidents.
