Ingredients

Sweet Strawberries

  • 1 lb strawberries washed and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Whipped Cream

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar

Easy Drop Biscuits

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 ts baking powder
  • 1/2 ts baking soda
  • 1/4 ts salt
  • 1/2 cup butter cubed

Instructions

Sweet Strawberries

  1. Mix together the sliced strawberries and sugar

  2. Cover and refrigerate until the biscuits are ready so that the berries get juicy

Whipped Cream

  1. Beat the cold cream and the powdered sugar until light and fluffy

  2. Refrigerate until ready to use

Easy Drop Biscuits

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

  2. Stir together the milk and lemon juice and set aside (buttermilk can be used...but I rarely have it on hand so the lemon juice combined with regular milk is a nice substitute)

  3. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt

  4. Add the cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs

  5. Add the milk/lemon juice mixture and stir until combined

  6. Drop the dough onto the baking sheet by rounded tablespoons full to make about 12 biscuits

  7. Bake for 13 - 15 minutes until the biscuits begin to turn golden brown

  8. Allow the biscuits to cool, then slice them and top them with strawberries and whipped cream
