Description
Buttery, flaky biscuits made with real fresh strawberries and a touch of sweetness, perfect for brunch or dessert.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, ice-cold and cubed
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced and patted dry
1 cup cold buttermilk
1 tablespoon heavy cream (for brushing)
1 teaspoon coarse sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.
Step 3: Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse meal.
Step 4: Gently fold in the diced strawberries until coated with flour.
Step 5: Stir in the buttermilk until a shaggy dough forms, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 6: Turn dough onto a floured surface, fold in thirds three times to create layers, and pat to 1-inch thickness.
Step 7: Cut out rounds with a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, pressing straight down.
Step 8: Place on the baking sheet, brush with cream, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Step 9: Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and tall.
Step 10: Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
Notes
Ensure the strawberries are dried thoroughly to prevent a soggy dough. Use a high-quality butter for the best flavor.
