Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup whole milk or buttermilk
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream (for brushing tops)
Pinch of sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- Make a well in the center and add the milk (or buttermilk) and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle.
- Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with milk or cream and sprinkle lightly with sugar if desired.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown and risen.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use cold butter to create flaky layers.
Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
Lemon zest can be added for brightness.
Best served warm.
