INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the sliced (or chopped) strawberries with the granulated sugar in a large bowl until coated. Cover tightly and wait 30–60 minutes.
1
Warm the oven up to 204°F (400°C). Put a silicone baking mat or parchment paper on a large baking sheet and set it aside.
2
Mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. A pastry cutter or fork should make pea-sized crumbs from the cubed cold butter. Add half-and-half to make dough. Crumbling is fine.
3
Scoop and pat dough into a 1/2-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Cut 6 2.5-inch biscuits, then re-roll the scrap dough and cut 2 more. Cut without twisting your biscuit cutter.
4
Brush biscuit tops with half-and-half or heavy whipping cream on prepared baking sheet. Bake the biscuits for 16–20 minutes at 400°F (204°C) until the tops are lightly golden brown and the middle is done.
5
Foil biscuits that brown too much before baking. Take it out of the oven and put it somewhere to cool.
6
Mix heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a large bowl with a hand-held mixer. Mix slowly, then medium-high until stiff peaks form.
7
After the biscuits cool, slice them in half and top with 1/2 cup of strawberries and 1/4 cup of whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!
