Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1 cup (166 g) fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, diced, divided
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Glaze (Optional)
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- To a small bowl, add ¾ cup of strawberries. Toss with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and the remaining tablespoon of sugar together.
- Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Fold in the sugar-coated strawberries, including any liquid from the berries.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Place the dough on top of the butter. Using a spatula (or your hands), evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.

- After removing the biscuits from the oven, allow the butter to be absorbed. Let the biscuits cool slightly before adding the glaze (if using).
