Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed Use cold butter for flaky layers.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped Ripe strawberries provide the best flavor.
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk Buttermilk keeps them tender.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for icing) Adjust for desired consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the dry mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbs form, keeping pea-sized pieces.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  5. In a separate small bowl, stir buttermilk and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together—it should look shaggy and slightly sticky.
  7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly, just enough to bring it together, keeping it quick to maintain cold butter.
  8. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thick and cut into rounds or squares.
  9. Place cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make icing, and drizzle over warm biscuits.

Notes

Chop strawberries the night before for a time-saver. Avoid overworking the dough to ensure biscuits remain fluffy. For a variation, add lemon zest for brightness. These biscuits can be served warm with butter, eaten as a travel treat, or filled with whipped cream for dessert.
