Grilled biscuit with homemade raspberry jam

August First is a great little coffee and baked goods place for breakfast in downtown Burlington, Vermont. We enjoyed it so much the first morning, that we went back for a second round the next day.

I would rather have a biscuit with my coffee for breakfast than toast. I make decent biscuits myself, but nothing amazing. This biscuit was AMAZING. You can see that it wasn’t the light and flaky platonic ideal biscuit. Sturdy, with a dark color and delicious crusty edges, then grilled with butter and served with an unreasonably large amount of raspberry jam. It was soothing and satisfying on a cold, wet morning.

The next day, we walked back over for a third time, but they are closed on Mondays, more’s the pity.
