Ingredients
6 to 7 cups quartered strawberries
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (75g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon non-alcoholic vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
2 3/4 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
4 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Add cubed butter and use a pastry blender to cut it into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Gradually add milk to form a soft dough. Knead gently, then roll out 3/4-inch thick. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake 12–14 minutes until golden brown.
Toss strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Let sit 30 minutes to create syrup. In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and non-alcoholic vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Assemble by placing a biscuit on a plate, top with strawberries and syrup, then a dollop of whipped cream. Repeat for remaining servings.
Notes
For best results, use in-season strawberries. Adjust baking time if biscuits brown too quickly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
