Ingredients
- 3 cup self rising flour
- 1/2 cup COLD butter
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 lbs. strawberries sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Use a pastry cutter to blend flour and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of COLD butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk using a danish dough whisk or spoon.
- Knead dough on a floured surface just until everything comes together and soft dough forms.
- Roll dough out 1/2"-3/4" thick using a rolling pin.
- Cut biscuits using a 3" biscuit cutter. Press biscuit cutter directly down and then up. No need to twist---this makes for a clean cut biscuit with level tops.
- Press leftover dough together and continue to cut out biscuits. I usually get 12 (3") biscuits from one recipe when rolled out 3/4" thick.
- Place biscuits in a greased 9x13" baking pan or on a greased cookie sheet.
- Place biscuits close together so that they are touching. This will help them rise nice and tall.
- Bake for 18 minutes. Tops should be golden.
- Combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Let stand 10 minutes.
- Slice biscuits in half. Spoon strawberries and whipped cream over biscuit, add the second layer and repeat.
