    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 *

    Recipe

    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.
