Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) buttermilk, cold
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (for strawberry butter)
  • 1/3 cup (45g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  4. Pour in cold buttermilk all at once and stir gently until dough just comes together; avoid overmixing.
  5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick rectangle. Fold dough over itself 2-3 times to create layers.
  6. Pat dough to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut biscuits using a 2.5–3 inch (6–7.5 cm) biscuit cutter, pressing straight down without twisting. Gather scraps and repeat.
  7. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. While biscuits bake, beat softened butter with chopped strawberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Chill if too soft.
  9. Let biscuits cool a few minutes, then split and spread generously with strawberry butter. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold to ensure flaky biscuits. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to maintain layers. Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet to help them rise taller. Fresh baking powder ensures good rise. Strawberry butter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
