Ingredients
  

  • 7 cups fresh sliced strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, frozen
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¾ cup whole milk, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • turbinado sugar optional for sprinkling on biscuits
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine sliced strawberries and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a bowl. Stir gently and set aside for 30 minutes to release their juices.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture and mix gently with a fork.
  • Combine heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract in a measuring cup, then pour into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and press into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
  • Fold and repeat a few times, then cut out biscuits with a cutter.
  • Arrange them on the baking sheet, brush the tops with cream, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden.
  • Beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
  • To serve, slice the biscuits in half.
  • Layer the bottom half with strawberries and their juices, then top with a dollop of whipped cream before placing the other biscuit half on top.

Notes

  • Adjust the sugar in the strawberries and whipped cream to taste.
  • Serve with ice cream or coffee for a delightful pairing.
