Ingredients

Goat Cheese

  • 1 quart goat milk (not ultra pasteurized)
  • cup fresh lemon juice

Biscuits

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • ¼ cup whole-wheat flour (or pastry flour)
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • ½ cup buttermilk

Blueberry Compote

  • 1 ½ cups blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot (or cornstarch)
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  1. Heat goat milk in a pot over low heat until it reaches about 180-185ºF, then stir in lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Line a colander with cheesecloth, pour the curdled mixture into it, and let drain for at least 1 ½ hours.
  3. For the blueberry compote, combine 1 cup blueberries, 3 tablespoons water, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan and cook for 10 minutes, then mash until smooth.
  4. Add the remaining blueberries, mix arrowroot with 1 teaspoon water, then stir into the blueberry mixture and boil for 1 minute until thickened.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Combine dry biscuit ingredients in a bowl, cut in butter until it resembles coarse meal, then add buttermilk and mix until just combined.
  6. Turn out the dough, pat to ½ inch thick, fold five times, then pat to 1 inch thick and cut into rounds.
  7. Bake biscuits for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Assemble by slicing biscuits in half, spreading goat cheese on the bottom, topping with blueberry compote, and serving.
