A step up from the standard recipe, featuring a slightly richer biscuit and a more flavorful strawberry maceration. Uses higher quality vanilla and a touch of almond extract.
A step up from the standard recipe, featuring a slightly richer biscuit and a more flavorful strawberry maceration. Uses higher quality vanilla and a touch of almond extract.
To make the Biscuits, whisk together the Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the Butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the Buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat down to about 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a 2-3 inch cutter.
Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While biscuits are baking, prepare the Strawberry Filling. In a medium bowl, combine the Strawberries, Sugar, Lemon Juice, and Almond Extract. Let sit for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
To make the Whipped Cream, beat the Heavy Whipping Cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Split the warm biscuits in half. Spoon Strawberry Filling over the bottom half of each biscuit, top with Whipped Cream, and cover with the top half of the biscuit.
