Fluffy Strawberry Biscuits

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven:
   Set it to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Cut in butter:
   Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
4. Add strawberries:
   Gently toss in the chopped strawberries, coating them lightly with the flour mixture.
5. Combine wet ingredients:
   Stir the milk and vanilla (if using) into the flour mixture just until a soft dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a splash more milk.
6. Shape the biscuits:
   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or glass, or shape them by hand.
7. Bake:
   Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden on top.
8. Cool and serve:
   Let cool slightly. Enjoy warm with a pat of butter, clotted cream, or a drizzle of honey.

Tip

These are best the day they’re made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and gently reheated the next day.
