Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 3/4 cup of the heavy cream until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 2-3 times. Pat into a 1-inch thick round.

  3. Step 3

    Cut out 6 biscuits with a 2-inch cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, hull and slice 1 pound strawberries. Toss with 2 tbsp sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.

  5. Step 5

    In a chilled bowl, whip remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream with remaining 2 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Split each biscuit in half. Spoon strawberries and their juices over the bottom half, top with a dollop of whipped cream, and place the top half over. Serve immediately.
