Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 1/2 cup cold cubed unsalted butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk and stir gently until just combined dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and gently pat to about 1-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter to cut 8 biscuits and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Step 3: Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Remove and let cool slightly.
Step 4: Meanwhile, combine 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Stir and let macerate at room temperature for 20 minutes until juicy.
Step 5: Whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Step 6: Split warm biscuits in half, spoon generous amounts of macerated strawberries and their juices over the bottom halves, then top with a dollop of vanilla whipped cream. Cover with biscuit tops and serve immediately.
