Ingredients
For the Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)
For the Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Add the cold butter cubes and work them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small lumps of butter.
Stir in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky and shaggy.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or floured glass. Re-roll scraps once if needed. If the dough warms up, refrigerate it for 10–15 minutes before baking.
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the biscuits are cooked through. Let them cool slightly.
To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over warm biscuits and serve.
Notes
Keep ingredients cold: Cold butter, buttermilk, and even a chilled bowl help create flaky biscuits.
Handle the dough gently: Overmixing can make the biscuits tough.
Work quickly: Keeping the butter cold helps create tender layers.
Chill the dough if needed: If the dough becomes warm while shaping, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before baking.
