Ingredients

Strawberries
  • 6 cups strawberries cut into halves or fourths
  • 6 tablespoons sugar divided
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese cut into small cubes
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Biscuit Topping:
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 5 teaspoons sugar divided
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup buttermilk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the strawberries with 4 tablespoons of the sugar, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla in a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet. Stir to coat, then let sit until the strawberries have started to release their juices, about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  3. In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until smooth. Beat in the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time. Drop the cream cheese mixture over the strawberry mixture by tablespoons. Use a spoon or spatula to try to spread the cream cheese mixture into a thin layer over the top of the strawberries.
  4. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3 teaspoons of the sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the buttermilk and stir just until moistened - do not overmix. Add more buttermilk if the mixture is too dry.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the topping over the strawberries and cream mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar over the top.
  6. Bake until the fruit is tender and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
