  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1¼ cups buttermilk

  4. Meanwhile, make the biscuit dough

Biscuit

  1. Whisk together dry ingredients
  2. Cut butter into dry mix until the butter resembles small pebbles
  3. Mix in buttermilk until just combined. The dough should be pretty wet
  4. Spread the dough in a fairly even layer on top of the baked filling, leaving small gaps to let some moisture escape
  5. Bake for 15 minutes and prep the simple syrup or egg wash
  6. Brush a thin layer of the syrup or egg wash over the biscuit topping, and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the biscuit has browned
  7. Let sit for 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken
