Strawberry Biscuits Recipe

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 14 minutes
Total Time 29 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, cold
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tbsp strawberry jam, seedless
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the 6 tbsp cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized butter pieces remaining, about 2 minutes.
  2. Pour in the 3/4 cup cold whole milk and stir with a fork just until no dry flour remains, about 20 to 30 seconds. Turn out onto a floured surface and fold the dough over itself 4 to 5 times without kneading.
  3. Pat the dough to 3/4 inch thick and cut with a 2.5-inch round cutter, pressing straight down without twisting, for about 8 biscuits.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place biscuits touching on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
  5. Whisk the 1 cup powdered sugar, 3 tbsp strawberry jam, 1 tbsp milk, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Spoon over the warm biscuits and serve with the glaze just beginning to set.

Notes

These are best eaten within a few hours of glazing while the biscuits are still a little warm. If you are making them for a crowd, bake the biscuits the night before and glaze them fresh in the morning — it takes less than 5 minutes and makes a real difference to the texture.
