Ingredients
🍰 For the Biscuits:
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup buttermilk (or use milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
1 tsp vanilla extract
🍓 For the Strawberries:
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2–3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
🥄 For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, toss sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Set aside to macerate at room temperature (about 30 minutes).
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until pea-sized crumbs form.
5. Mix buttermilk and vanilla together. Add to dry ingredients and stir until dough just comes together.
6. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 6 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass.
7. Place biscuits on baking sheet and bake 13–15 minutes or until golden.
8. Let biscuits cool slightly on a rack.
9. Meanwhile, whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
10. To serve: Slice biscuits in half. Spoon strawberries over the bottom half, top with whipped cream, and cover with biscuit top. Add more cream and berries if desired.
Notes
Make dairy-free by using plant-based butter and coconut cream.
Best enjoyed the day it’s made but biscuits can be frozen and reheated.
Use other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a twist!
