Ingredients
Biscuit Dough
- 2 Cups Flour
- ⅓ Cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ⅓ Cup Butter, chilled
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- ¾ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Biscuit Topping
- ¼ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- White Sugar for Sprinkling
Fruit and Whipped Cream
- 1 lb. Fresh Strawberries
- 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 Tbs. Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl or in a food processor, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in the butter until well blended.
- Stir in the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla.
- Once the dough comes together dump it out on a lightly floured surface and pat it to a little more than ½ inch thick. This dough may be a little sticky. Lightly flouring your fingers may help. Cut out the biscuits with a 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the ¼ cup of heavy cream and generously sprinkle the top of the cream with the sugar.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes. The bottom edges should be golden brown. Cool on a wire rack until almost completely cool. Prepare the strawberries and whipped cream.
- Slice the strawberries thinly. Set aside.
- Beat the 2 cups of heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully slice the cooled biscuits in half. Top the bottom half with sliced strawberries followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Top with the top of the biscuit. Top with additional strawberries and whipped cream.
- Serve and enjoy!
