Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweet Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Dice fresh strawberries into small pieces and measure out the dry ingredients separately. Ensure butter is cold and cut into small cubes for easy mixing.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent for consistent rising.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs, leaving small bits visible to create flaky layers.
  4. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the flour-butter mixture without crushing to maintain fresh berry flavor and texture.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring gently until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender and light.
  6. Shape and Bake: Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the Sweet Glaze: While biscuits cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth and pourable. Drizzle generously over warm biscuits before serving.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold, especially butter, to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense, tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and moisture; thawed frozen berries may add excess water.
  • Bake biscuits on parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust glaze consistency by adding milk gradually until desired pourable texture is reached.
