Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and chopped
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then chop into small pieces. Measure out all dry ingredients and keep your butter cold for flaky biscuits.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar in a large bowl to evenly distribute the leavening agent and sweetness.
- Cut In the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, creating pockets that will make the biscuits flaky.
- Add Strawberries and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries to avoid bruising. Pour in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined without overmixing to keep the texture light.
- Form and Bake: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat into a thick rectangle. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the Sweet Glaze: While biscuits bake, whisk together powdered sugar and milk or cream until smooth and glossy. Adjust glaze thickness by adding more liquid or sugar as needed.
- Glaze and Serve: Once biscuits have slightly cooled, drizzle the sweet glaze over the tops. Serve warm for the best flavor combination of melty glaze and juicy strawberries inside.
Notes
- Chill all ingredients, especially butter and buttermilk, for best flaky texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense biscuits.
- Use fresh strawberries for optimal moisture and flavor.
- Cut biscuits evenly for uniform baking.
- Prepare glaze last to maintain its fresh glossy appearance.
