Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (21g) maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp (2.5g) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 6 tbsp (85g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup (120ml) cold whole milk
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (12g) honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (12g) powdered sugar
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, toss sliced strawberries with lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature to macerate.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the cold whole milk, Greek yogurt, and honey just until the flour disappears; do not overmix.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Drop generous mounds of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the tops are mahogany-colored and the edges are crisp.
- Allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the chilled heavy cream with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Split the warm biscuits in half and layer with macerated strawberries and whipped cream.
