Strawberries
- 1 pint strawberries
- 3 tablespoons sugar
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Biscuits
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick butter, cold and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
Instructions
- Begin by quartering the strawberries and adding to a small bowl with the 3 tablespoons of sugar, tossing to coat. Next make the whipped cream by beating the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until thick. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with pam. To a food processor, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add in the cream. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough with your hands until everything is combined. Pat out to an inch thick 9X6 rectangle. Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a cup/glass, cut out the dough into 3 inch circles. Re-roll dough and cut out remnants. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Cool before slicing each biscuit in half horizontally. Spoon 1/4 of the strawberries on top of the 4 biscuits and top with a few tablespoons of the whipped cream. Top with other half of the biscuit and serve!
