Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk (or 3/4 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (about 300 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar for macerating strawberries
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar for sweetening whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  2. Toss sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit at least 20 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  4. Cut cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together cold buttermilk and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and gently stir just until dough comes together; avoid overmixing.
  7. Lightly flour work surface and knead dough 3-4 times. Pat into a 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick rectangle.
  8. Cut biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch (6.5 cm) round cutter, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather scraps and cut again.
  9. Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet close but not touching. Brush tops lightly with buttermilk or melted butter.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  11. While baking, whip chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Keep chilled.
  12. Slice warm biscuits in half horizontally. Spoon macerated strawberries with syrup onto bottom half, add whipped cream, then top with biscuit lid. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold to ensure flaky biscuits. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to maintain rise. If dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes before cutting. Whip cream with chilled bowl and beaters for best results. Assemble biscuits just before serving to prevent sogginess.
