List of Ingredients



• 1 cup diced strawberries
  
• About 3 Tbsp granulated sugar, divided
  
• 2 cups flour
  
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
  
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 6 Tbsp cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  
• 2/3 cup buttermilk
  
• 2 Tbsp turbinado sugar *
  






Instructions



1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees (F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
   
2. Toss the strawberries with 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar to taste, depending on their sweetness. Set aside.
   
   
3. Sift together the flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender or 2 forks to cut in the butter. It's okay to have visible chunks of butter (this makes for a flakier biscuit).
   
   
4. Stir in the strawberries and toss to coat with the flour. Stir in the buttermilk until the flour mixture is moistened.
   
   
5. On a lightly floured work surface, lightly knead the dough until it holds together. Pat or roll to 3/4-inch thick. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut into rounds. Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and sprinkle each biscuit with 1/4 teaspoon turbinado sugar. Bake until light brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
   
   Makes 16 biscuits.
   
   * Turbinado sugar is sold at health-food and specialty stores and well-stocked supermarkets.
