Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced small

Sweet Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dry the fresh strawberries thoroughly, then dice them into small pieces to ensure even distribution and juicy bursts throughout the biscuit dough.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. This mixture forms the base for your biscuits, promoting even rise and balanced sweetness.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter, which is essential for achieving flaky biscuits.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold the diced strawberries into the dough, distributing them evenly while avoiding crushing to maintain moisture and texture.
  6. Shape and Bake: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the Sweet Glaze: While the biscuits bake, whisk the powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice until smooth and glossy. Adjust liquid amounts to reach a pourable glaze consistency.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Once the biscuits have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over them. Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Keep Butter Cold: Using cold butter is vital for flaky, tender biscuit layers.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix ingredients just until combined to prevent tough biscuits.
  • Pat, Don’t Roll: Gently pat dough to preserve texture and avoid overworking gluten.
  • Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries offer the best flavor and consistency.
  • Adjust Glaze Consistency: Add liquid gradually to get your preferred thickness for the glaze.
