Ingredients
7 cups fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
3 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, frozen and grated
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Combine sliced strawberries and 3 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl and let macerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Add grated frozen butter and cut into the flour mixture until crumbly.
Combine heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate pitcher.
Gradually stir the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Drop dough onto the baking sheet in large portions and sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Split biscuits and serve topped with macerated strawberries and whipped cream.
Notes
Ensure your butter is frozen before grating to achieve the best flaky texture. If you don’t have turbinado sugar, you may omit it or use regular sugar. Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 2 days.
