Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1 Tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder; 2 cups heavy cream; 1 teaspoon strawberry extract; 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries; 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter; 1 cup powdered sugar; 3 Tablespoons milk; 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract

Description

Soft, fluffy biscuits loaded with fresh strawberries, baked in a pool of butter, and finished with a sweet strawberry glaze.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Biscuits:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon strawberry extract
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
Step 3: Pour in the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of strawberry extract. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4: Gently stir in the chopped strawberries.
Step 5: Melt the salted butter and pour it into the prepared baking dish.
Step 6: Pour the biscuit dough into the dish, right on top of the melted butter. Spread the batter out as evenly as possible.
Step 7: Cut the dough into 9 squares before baking. This will help with cutting the biscuits later.
Step 8: Bake on the middle oven rack for 25-30 minutes, rotating the dish once. The biscuits are done when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9: While the biscuits are warm, prepare the glaze. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry extract until smooth.
Step 10: Drizzle the glaze over the warm biscuits.
Step 11: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then slice along your pre-cut lines and serve.

Notes

If the batter seems dry, add a little more heavy cream until you have a sticky dough.

To make spreading the sticky dough easier, spray your hand with nonstick spray and gently push the batter into place.

Oven times can vary, so keep an eye on the biscuits to ensure they don’t over-bake.
Serve these biscuits as is or use them as a base for strawberry shortcakes.
