Perfect for a cozy brunch or a special gift, this recipe is straightforward and results in tender, flaky biscuits every time. Let’s dive into how you can create this delightful batch of strawberry biscuits.

Ingredients

• Biscuits:
  • 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 pint of strawberries, chopped small
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2 cups of milk
• Topping (Drizzle):
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons raspberry coffee creamer (or plain milk)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries:
   • In a small bowl, add the chopped strawberries.
   • Sprinkle the strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
   • Let the strawberries sit while you prepare the dough. This allows the strawberries to release their natural juices, creating a sweet and slightly syrupy mixture.
2. Make the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, add the self-rising flour.
   • Shred the stick of butter into the flour. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the butter is well incorporated and the mixture is crumbly.
   • Gradually add the 2 cups of milk to the flour mixture. Stir just until combined. It’s important not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
3. Incorporate the Strawberries:
   • Gently fold the strawberries and their juices into the dough. Mix lightly until the strawberries are evenly distributed.
4. Form the Biscuits:
   • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.
   • Knead the dough a few times to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
   • Roll out the dough to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
   • Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on a sheet pan.
5. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
   • Bake the biscuits for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
6. Prepare the Topping (Drizzle):
   • In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and raspberry coffee creamer (or milk).
   • Mix well until you have a smooth, pourable glaze.
7. Finish the Biscuits:
   • Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
   • Drizzle the prepared topping over the warm biscuits.
8. Enjoy:
   • Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy the delicious blend of buttery, flaky dough with sweet, juicy strawberries.

These strawberry biscuits are a delightful treat that combines the comfort of homemade biscuits with the freshness of strawberries. The sweet drizzle on top adds an extra touch of indulgence, making them perfect for any occasion. Happy baking!
