    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       3/4           cup  sugar
    2          teaspoons  baking powder
       3/4      teaspoon  kosher salt
    2 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- plus more
       1/2           cup  chilled unsalted butter -- (1 stick),  cut 
into 1/2" pieces
    1           teaspoon  finely grated lime zest
       3/4           cup  buttermilk
    1              large  egg -- beaten to blend
    1         tablespoon  raw sugar

Preheat oven to 400F. Whisk sugar, baking powder, salt, and 2 1/4 
cups flour in a large bowl. Add butter and lime zest and blend with 
your fingertips until coarse crumbs form. Add buttermilk and, using a 
fork, mix until just combined. Transfer to a lightly floured surface. 
Gently knead just until a shaggy, moist dough forms, about 4 times.

Roll out dough about 1/2" thick. Using a 2 1/2" biscuit cutter or 
inverted glass, cut out rounds. Gather scraps and repeat rolling and 
cutting until all dough is used.

Place biscuits on a parchment - lined baking sheet. Using your thumb, 
make a large divot in the center of each biscuit; brush with egg and 
sprinkle liberally with raw sugar. Spoon a scant 1 teaspoon 
strawberry jam into each divot.

Bake biscuits until golden brown, 18 - 22 minutes.

Description:
    "The key to a tender biscuit is to handle the dough as little as possible."
