Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4

Stir in 2/3 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.

5

Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle, and cut into 6 squares. Place on baking sheet.

6

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.

7

While biscuits bake, mix sliced strawberries with 2 tbsp sugar and let sit to macerate for 15 minutes.

8

Whip 1 cup heavy cream with powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla until stiff peaks form.

9

Split biscuits in half. Layer with whipped cream and strawberries. Top with other biscuit half.

Chef's Tips

  • Biscuit Tip: Handle the dough as little as possible for the fluffiest biscuits.
  • Berry Options: Use other berries like raspberries or blueberries for variation.
  • Make Ahead: Biscuits can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
  • Whipped Cream: Chill your bowl and beaters for best whipping results.
  • Presentation: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
