Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for strawberries)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in milk and vanilla until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently knead a few times, and pat to 1-inch thickness. Cut into 2- to 2.5-inch rounds.
  6. Place biscuits on baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely.
  7. Meanwhile, mix sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar and let sit for 20–30 minutes to macerate.
  8. Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
  9. To assemble, slice each biscuit in half. Layer with strawberries and whipped cream, then top with biscuit lid and more cream and berries if desired.

Notes

  • For flakier biscuits, keep the butter and milk very cold.
  • Make components ahead: biscuits can be baked a day before, and strawberries can macerate in advance.
  • Optional: brush biscuit tops with cream and sprinkle sugar before baking for a golden finish.
