Ingredients
Biscuits
- 8 ct can large buttermilk biscuits
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Strawberries
- 1 quart strawberries hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste Optional, see notes
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Biscuits
- Preheat oven according to package instructions and your desired bake method and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dip each biscuit into the melted butter and then into the sugar to coat evenly on all sides. And bake according to package directions. Usually, there are two baking options, I like the use the one that yields bigger biscuits, which usually means a slightly longer baking time.
Strawberries
- While biscuits are baking, stir together strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl and set aside. Let them macerate for at least 20 minutes or prep them the night before sy they're really syrupy.
Whipped Cream
- In a large, cold bowl or stand mixer, beat together whipped cream ingredients, starting on low and increasing speed until stiff peaks form.
- Slice the biscuit in half and top with whipped cream and strawberries.
Notes
- If vanilla bean paste is not used, double the vanilla.
- For even more flavor you can add 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, or lemon juice and zest to the strawberry mixture.
