Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all purpose flour
4 TBS granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 tsp granulated sugar (for topping)

For the Strawberries:

3 cups chopped strawberries
1 1/2 TBS granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Whipped Cream:

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Biscuits:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. And whisk them together.
Add in the cream, and stir it all together with a rubber spatula until just combined.
Use a large cookie scoop, or 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion out 9 or 10 dough balls and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Use your fingers, or the bottom of a glass cup to gently press the top of the dough down to make a rounded biscuit shape.
Sprinkle the top of each biscuit with 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

For the Strawberries:

When the biscuits are done, chop the strawberries and add them to a bowl. Add the granulated sugar, and vanilla and stir them together to combine.

For the Whipped Cream:

In a large bowl, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and whip them together until soft peaks form.
When ready to consume, cut a biscuit in half, top the bottom half with whipped cream and strawberries. Then top with other biscuit half. Enjoy.
