Ingredients
Biscuits
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Strawberries
- 1 lb strawberries diced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Sweetened Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream 30-35%
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Biscuits
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until it is in pea-sized pieces.
- Lightly beat the egg and stir into the flour.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, adding just enough so that the dough comes together. For best results, cover and chill for 30 minutes before rolling.
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/2" thickness. Cut into rounds using a 2 3/4 " biscuit cutter (or whatever size you prefer).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place biscuits in the center of the baking sheet so that they are touching.
- Beat together the egg and water and brush over the tops of the biscuits. Sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until light golden brown. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
Strawberries
- Wash and chop strawberries. Add sugar and stir.
- Let them sit for 20 minutes or more or until they become juicy.
Sweetened Whipped Cream
- In a large bowl, beat cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Add sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Serve split biscuits with strawberries and whipped cream as desired.
