Description
Tender, fluffy biscuits layered with sweet macerated strawberries and silky whipped cream. A classic, elegant dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make for Mother’s Day or any special occasion.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup whole milk
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for macerating)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipping)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add milk, stirring until dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.
Place on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) until golden, 10–12 minutes.
In a bowl, toss strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar. Let macerate at least 30 minutes.
Just before serving, whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Serve biscuits split and filled with strawberries and whipped cream.
Notes
Macerated strawberries and whipped cream can be prepped 6 hours ahead. Store separately in airtight containers.
For richer flavor, use a mix of strawberries and other fresh berries.
Serve chilled for a refreshing twist.
