Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
- 8 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/3 cup white sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Cut in cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (If desired, place flour mixture into the work bowl of a food processor with the butter; pulse several times to cut butter into the flour mixture. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl, and proceed.)
- Stir in buttermilk until the flour mixture is moistened.
- Drop 1/3-cup scoops of the dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush biscuits with heavy cream and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

- Serve the strawberries with juice over the biscuits.
