  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, diced, divided Opt for organic if available for the best flavor!
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided Use pure cane sugar for a more natural sweetness.
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour Try to use unbleached for better flavor.
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder Make sure it’s fresh to ensure those biscuits rise!
  • 2 cups buttermilk Homemade buttermilk can be made with regular milk and vinegar.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a small bowl, add ¾ cup of the diced strawberries and toss them with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside to draw out the juices.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and remaining tablespoon of sugar. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the coated strawberries and any syrup from the bowl.
  5. Pour the melted butter into an 8x8 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom.
Baking
  1. Spoon the biscuit dough over the melted butter, spreading it out evenly.
  2. Score the dough into 9 squares and scatter the remaining strawberries on top.
  3. Bake for 30-32 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth, adjusting for desired thickness.
  5. Let the biscuits cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries and high-quality butter for the best flavor. Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
