Strawberry Biscuits
Homemade strawberry biscuits are a twist to the classic buttermilk biscuit. Sweet strawberries in a fluffy biscuit then topped with a sweet glaze.
Equipment
- Pasty cutter (optional)
- Cheese grater (optional)
Ingredients
Biscuits
- 250 grams all purpose flour (or 2 cups)
- 6 tablespoon cold butter
- 1.5 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped finely
- 3/4 cup whole buttermilk or milk
Icing
- 1.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon buttermilk or milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- To start, place the butter in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- While waiting, measure out the flour, then add in the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Toss those together.
- Now, grab the butter from the freezer and grate it into the flour mix. Toss everything together, then place that bowl of the mixed flour and butter into the freezer. Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- When the oven is fully heated, remove the bowl from the freezer, add the strawberries first, then fold in the buttermilk. There will be some parts of the flour that will be left over. Add in a tablespoon or two, nor more than two, directly on top of the little crumbles avoiding the parts of the dough that has already come together. Be sure that you are pressing the dough together and not kneading. But also, not so hard you're smashing the berries.
- Once you have pressed the dough together, scoop it out and lay it on a floured surfaced. Any stubborn parts place them on top of the dough and press them down into it. Now, this is where you do not want to knead the dough.
- Press the dough down kind of flat, about 2-3" thick. You want to be able to fold the dough on itself in half. Then, press it down again. Do this no more than two times, this "locks" those loose pieces in and uniforms the dough a little better.
- Next, you can press with your hands or use a floured roller and flatten the dough to no less than 1.5" but no more than 2". Use a dough cutter or a drinking glass to press out the biscuits, press the cutter, do not twist. You'll get a minimum 6 biscuits if not 7 with this.
- Place the cut biscuits on a lined sheet pan. Allow them to touch each other. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. When the biscuits have risen and turned golden they are ready.
- When you remove them, brush with butter. You can drizzle the icing immediately or let them cool first. Serve and enjoy.
