Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour, divided (and more, if needed)*
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups strawberries,* cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup butter, frozen
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour and baking powder. Add strawberries and toss until well-coated with flour. Using the large holes of a cheese grater, grate frozen butter into the flour mixture. Using your hands, combine butter with flour and strawberry mixture until the dough is coarse and crumbly. Stir in buttermilk to make a wet, sticky dough.
  3. Turn dough out on a well-floured surface. Gently knead in remaining flour until dough is no longer sticky and holds its shape. Press into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut dough into 16 square or rectangular biscuits. Place the biscuits on the parchment paper, leaving some room between them for even cooking.
  4. Brush the top of each biscuit with melted butter and bake 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Recipe Notes

Add extra flour if needed until your dough will hold its shape.

If your strawberries aren't particularly sweet, feel free to toss them in a tablespoon or two of white sugar before adding them to your dough.
