Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp (35g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, ice-cold and cubed
- 1 cup (240ml) cold buttermilk
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 lbs (900g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp (25g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss gently and let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to macerate.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl until no large clumps remain.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour. Use a pastry cutter or forks to mash the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits remaining.
- Stir in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract using a spatula. Mix only until the flour is moistened; do not overwork the dough.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Split the warm biscuits in half, fill with macerated strawberries and their syrup, and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
