Description

A classic summer dessert featuring tender homemade biscuits layered with juicy macerated strawberries and fresh whipped cream.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for berries)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp granulated sugar (for dough)
1 tsp salt
5 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup cold heavy whipping cream (for dough)
1/2 cup cold milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for dough)
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream (for topping)
1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for topping)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 Tbsp sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold, diced butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine 1/2 cup cold milk, 1/2 cup cold cream, and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Pour over the flour mixture and fold gently until a dough begins to form.
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a rectangle, fold in half, and repeat twice. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
While dough rests, toss sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Refrigerate to macerate.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness and cut into rounds using a floured cutter (press straight down).
Bake on a lined sheet for 14 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
Whip the remaining 1 cup cream with 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Split biscuits, top with strawberries and cream, and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are very cold for the fluffiest biscuits.
