Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a sharp knife or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal-sized biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and edges.
- While biscuits are baking, prepare the strawberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook the strawberry mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
- Serve warm biscuits split in half, topped with fresh strawberry sauce and optionally a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Keep It Cold: For the flakiest biscuits, make sure your butter is very cold. You can even freeze it for a few minutes before cutting it into the flour mixture.
- Don’t Overmix: When adding the heavy cream, mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits, so be gentle!
- Flour Your Surface: Lightly flour your work surface when patting out the dough to prevent sticking. This will help you achieve a nice, even thickness.
- Uniform Size: Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to ensure your biscuits are evenly sized. This helps them bake uniformly and look appealing.
- Watch the Oven: Keep an eye on your biscuits as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for that golden-brown color around the 12-minute mark.
- Fresh Strawberries: For the sauce, use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If they’re not sweet enough, adjust the sugar to your taste.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, so serve them fresh out of the oven with the strawberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
