Ingredients
Scale
- For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- For the Strawberries:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar in a bowl and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once the biscuits are done, let them cool slightly before serving with strawberries and whipped cream on top.
