A delightful dessert featuring layers of tender biscuits, fresh strawberries, and fluffy whipped cream, perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for strawberries)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for biscuits)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries by slicing them and mixing with 1/4 cup of sugar. Let them sit to macerate.
  2. Make the buttermilk biscuits by combining flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add buttermilk and mix gently.
  3. Shape the dough, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  4. While biscuits are baking, whip heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until soft peaks form.
  5. Assemble the dessert by slicing the biscuits in half, layering with strawberries and cream, then topping with the other half.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. For a vegan version, use coconut cream and plant-based yogurt.
