Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 23 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
