Description

These Strawberry Biscuits are studded with fresh, ripe strawberries and drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze. Hello Spring!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoons (112 g) unsalted butter, very cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, diced
  • 3/4 cup (180 g) buttermilk, very cold
  • 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Dice your fresh strawberries and lay them in a single layer on a piece of paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Measure all dry ingredients into a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix. Add cold butter cubes and pulse 5–6 times until the butter is in pea-sized pieces.

3. Pour into a mixing bowl, add the diced strawberries, and toss to combine.

4. Make a well in the center and add the cold buttermilk. Gently mix until a loose dough forms. Some dry flour may remain; that’s okay.

5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently form into a rough square.

6. Cut into four squares, stack them, and press down into another square. Repeat this process two more times.

7. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Use a biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Reform and cut scraps as needed. You should get 8 to 12 biscuits.

8. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined sheet pan and chill in the fridge or freezer while preheating the oven to 450°F.

9. Remove from the fridge and brush tops with egg wash. Bake at 425°F for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.

10. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Let biscuits cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with glaze.


Notes

Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting the dough. Twisting seals the edges and prevents proper rise.

Best eaten the same day. Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.

For best results, do not glaze until ready to serve. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before glazing.
