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 cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4

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

5

Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick circle, and cut into 6 rounds using a biscuit cutter.

6

Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool.

7

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

8

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

9

Split cooled biscuits in half. Layer with whipped cream and strawberries. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

  • Cold Ingredients: Ensure butter and cream are very cold for flaky biscuits.
  • Biscuit Handling: Handle dough minimally to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Fresh Berries: Use ripe, in-season strawberries for best flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Biscuits can be baked a day ahead; store in an airtight container.
  • Presentation: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful finish.
  • Variation: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to strawberries for depth of flavor.
