Ingredients

Buttermilk biscuits:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp baking powder
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Macerated strawberries:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Whipped cream:

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/4 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

For biscuits:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut or grate the butter and add into the bowl.
2. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, incorporate the butter until there are small pieces all throughout the dough.
3. Add in your buttermilk and using a rubber spatula, mix together until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Transfer dough to a working surface and bring together. Using a bench scraper cut the dough in half and place on half on top of the other. Squish the dough down using your hands repeat once more.
5. Roll out the dough until desired thickness (I like a tall biscuit) and use a cookie cutter for your biscuit shapes.
6. Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with additional buttermilk and sprinkle with additional sugar.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are slightly golden brown.

For the strawberries:

1. Slice your strawberries and add to a bowl with your sugar and lemon zest. Mix to combine and transfer to the fridge until ready to assemble.

For whipped cream:

1. Add the heavy cream to a large bowl and whip using a hand mixer until soft peaks.
2. Add in your icing sugar and vanilla and beat for another minute or until your desired thickness.

To assemble:

1. Cut open your fresh biscuit and top with the berries, whipped cream, top of biscuit and more berries and cream, enjoy :)
