Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 160 grams (1 ⅓ cup) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
Fat Ingredient:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
Liquid and Fruit Ingredients:
- ½ cup buttermilk (plus extra if needed)
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch of salt
Whipped Cream Ingredients:
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (very cold)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 450°F and prepare a quarter sheet baking pan with parchment paper for optimal baking.
- Create a dry mixture by whisking flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Carefully fragment cold butter into tiny pieces and incorporate into the flour blend using a pastry cutter, working the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Introduce buttermilk gradually, gently folding and lightly kneading until a cohesive dough emerges.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and delicately manipulate it 3-4 times, then flatten to a uniform 1-inch thickness.
- Using a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter, carefully extract circular biscuit shapes from the rolled dough.
- Arrange the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring slight separation between each piece.
- Roast the biscuits in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes until they develop a delicate golden hue.
- Meanwhile, macerate fresh strawberries with sugar, a pinch of salt, and a splash of lemon juice, allowing the fruits to release their natural juices.
- Whip cold cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form, then fold in powdered sugar and vanilla, continuing to beat until achieving a light, airy texture.
- To serve, split the warm biscuits horizontally and lavish each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and the macerated strawberry mixture.
Notes
- Prepare all ingredients before starting to ensure a smooth baking process.
- Use cold butter and buttermilk for the flakiest, most tender biscuits that melt in your mouth.
- Don’t overmix the dough; gentle handling creates lighter, more delicate biscuits.
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated to achieve perfect golden-brown edges and a beautiful rise.
- Let strawberries macerate with sugar for enhanced flavor and natural syrup development.
- Whip cream just before serving to maintain its fresh, airy texture and prevent deflation.
