These Strawberry Biscuits are studded with fresh, ripe strawberries and drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze. Hello Spring!
Ingredients
- Biscuits
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (6 g) kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons (112 g) unsalted butter, very cold and cut into small cubes
- 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, diced
- ¾ cup (180 g) buttermilk, very cold
- 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
- Vanilla glaze
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Dice your fresh strawberries and lay them in a single layer on a piece of paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Measure all of your dry ingredients into the bowl of your food processor. Pulse a few times to mix.
3. Add cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients and pulse 5–6 times, or until most of the butter is in pea-sized or smaller pieces.
4. Pour into a mixing bowl, add the diced strawberries, and toss in.
5. Make a well in the center and add the cold buttermilk. Gently bring the wet and dry together until you have a fairly uniform, loose dough.
6. Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently bring it together into a rough square.
7. Cut into four smaller squares. Stack the pieces of dough on top of each other. Press down and reshape into a square. Repeat this cutting and stacking process two more times.
8. Pat the dough into a rectangle at least ½ inch thick. Use a 2 or 3 inch biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out biscuits.
9. Gather scraps, re-form gently, and cut additional biscuits. You should get 8 to 12 biscuits.
10. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined small sheet pan and chill in the freezer or refrigerator while preheating the oven to 450°F.
11. Remove biscuits from the freezer, brush tops with egg wash, and bake in a 425°F oven for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
12. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
13. Allow biscuits to cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle generously with the glaze.
Notes
Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting your biscuits. Press straight down and lift straight up to allow for full rising.
Best eaten the same day. Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
For best results, wait to glaze until ready to serve. Reheat in oven or microwave as needed.
