Ingredients
- 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 Stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/3 c. 6 tbsp. SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated, divided
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 c. 1 tbsp. buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 qt. strawberries, hulled and quartered
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- Nonfat whipped topping, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse flour, butter, SPLENDA® Sweetener, baking powder, and salt until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add 1 cup buttermilk and pulse until dough moistens and just begins to come together.
- With floured hands, turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1 ”-thick circle. Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut as many biscuits as possible. (Re-roll the remaining scraps and repeat this process.) Transfer biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Whisk together egg and remaining 1 tablespoon buttermilk in a small bowl and brush egg wash over tops of biscuits. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together strawberries, lemon zest and juice, and 1/3 cup SPLENDA® Sweetener in a medium bowl. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until soft, about 15 minutes.
- Serve halved biscuits topped with roasted strawberries and whipped topping.
