🌟 Easy to Make

With simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can whip up a batch in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Biscuits:

• 2 ½ cups self-rising flour
• 1 stick unsalted butter (cold, shredded or cubed)
• 1 pint strawberries, chopped small
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups milk

For the Sweet Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons raspberry coffee creamer (or milk as a substitute)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries

Place chopped strawberries in a small bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, stir, and let sit while you prepare the dough. This draws out the juices and makes the strawberries extra flavorful.

2. Mix the Biscuit Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together self-rising flour and shredded butter until the mixture is crumbly. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined—do not overmix, or the biscuits will become tough.

3. Add the Strawberries

Gently fold in the strawberries along with their juices. Mix lightly until just incorporated.

4. Roll and Cut

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead lightly a few times, then roll out evenly. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds from the dough.

5. Bake

Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

6. Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and raspberry creamer (or milk) until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more sugar for thickness or more liquid for a thinner drizzle.

7. Glaze and Serve

Drizzle glaze over warm biscuits and serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Perfect Strawberry Biscuits

• Keep butter cold: Shredded or cubed cold butter creates steam pockets in the dough, making the biscuits flaky.
• Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined for a tender texture.
• Cut evenly: Use a sharp biscuit cutter for clean edges that rise better in the oven.
• Add extra flavor: A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract in the dough enhances the sweetness of the strawberries.
• Serve warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with glaze melting on top.

Variations to Try

🍋 Lemon Strawberry Biscuits

Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the dough and a squeeze of lemon juice to the glaze.

🍫 Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Biscuits

Drizzle with melted chocolate in addition to the glaze for a decadent twist.

🥥 Coconut Glaze

Replace the milk in the glaze with coconut milk and sprinkle with shredded coconut.

🫐 Berry Mix

Use a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a “berry patch” biscuit.

🥜 Nutty Crunch

Add ½ cup chopped pecans or almonds to the dough for extra texture.
