Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (about 300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together heavy cream and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently until just combined; the dough will be sticky.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 3/4-inch (2cm) thick rectangle. Fold over once or twice and pat down again.
  7. Cut out 8 biscuits using a floured 2.5-inch (6.5cm) round cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
  8. Place biscuits on the baking sheet close but not touching. Brush tops lightly with heavy cream.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
  10. While baking, whip heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in vanilla extract.
  11. Slice biscuits in half horizontally. Spoon sliced strawberries on the bottom half, top with whipped cream, then place the biscuit top on. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use cold butter to create flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to keep edges sharp. Whip cream to soft peaks for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and coconut cream.
