Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup cold heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for topping
- Whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold heavy cream, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times. Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch thick round.
- Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, gently toss the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Let the biscuits cool slightly. Split them open and fill with the sugared strawberries and whipped cream.
Notes
- For best results, ensure your butter and cream are very cold.
- You can add a splash of vanilla extract to the dough for extra flavor.
- Adjust the sugar in the strawberries to your preference.
