Key Ingredients

• All-Purpose Flour: This is the base of our recipe, providing structure to the biscuits.
• Granulated Sugar: A touch of sweetness to balance the tangy strawberries.
• Salt: Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients in the biscuits.
• Cold Salted Butter: When the biscuits bake, the cold butter will melt and release steam, which creates a flaky texture.
• Strawberries: They add a burst of fresh, fruity flavor to the biscuits giving them a strawberry shortcake-like flavor.
• Powdered Sugar: This will be used in the glaze to add sweetness and a smooth, creamy texture.
• Milk: Used to thin out the glaze and make it pourable, without adding too much sweetness.

How to Make Strawberry Biscuits

Preparation

To start, preheat your oven to 425° F and grease a small baking sheet. This will make sure that your biscuits don’t stick to the pan and are easy to remove after baking.

Step 1 – Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This forms the base of your biscuit dough and gives it the perfect amount of sweetness and lift.

Step 2 – Add Butter and Strawberries

Cut in the cold butter until it resembles small peas in the dry ingredients. Then, stir in the strawberries until they are all coated and evenly distributed. This will give your biscuits a buttery, flaky texture and a burst of fresh strawberry flavor.

Step 3 – Add Milk and Mix

Slowly add 3/4 Cup of cold milk and mix it with a fork until the dough is just slightly sticky. This will bind all of your ingredients together and give your biscuits the right amount of moisture.

Step 4 – Fold and Shape

Remove the dough from the bowl and fold it over 10 times on a floured surface. Then, flatten the dough using your hands until it’s about 1 inch thick. You’re now ready to cut out your biscuits.

Step 5 – Cut and Bake

Using a biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits and place them on the greased baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for 12 – 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 6 – Make the Glaze

While the biscuits are baking, you can prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk using a fork. This will give your biscuits a sweet, creamy drizzle on top.

Step 7 – Drizzle the Glaze

Once the biscuits are done, and while they’re still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. This will add a sweet finish to your biscuits and give them a beautiful, glossy sheen.

Step 8 – Serve

Your strawberry biscuits are ready to serve! They’re best enjoyed warm, so dig in and enjoy the delicious, fruity, buttery goodness.

Expert Tip

To ensure that your strawberries are evenly distributed throughout your biscuit dough, dice them small. This will help them to mix in more evenly.

Recipe Variations

• Extra Sweetness: Toss the strawberries in a little extra sugar before adding them to the dough. This will add more sweetness to your strawberry biscuits.
• Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have regular milk on hand, you can use buttermilk as a substitute. This will add a tangy flavor to your biscuits.
• Different Fruits: Feel free to experiment with different fruits. Blueberries or raspberries would be a great substitute for the strawberries in this recipe.

What to Serve With

• These delicious Strawberry biscuits make for a perfect breakfast treat. Serve them with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for a wonderful start to your day.
• For a fun and unique dessert, serve these biscuits with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The sweet, fruity flavor of the strawberries in the biscuits pairs perfectly with the creamy, cold ice cream.
