Biscuit Recipe
Yield 20 biscuits, 4oz each
All Purpose Flour 6.5 cups
Salt 1 tbsp. + 1 tsp
Granulated Sugar ¼ cup
Baking Powder 2 tbsp.
Baking Soda 1 tsp
Unsalted Butter, cold 1 ¾ cup
Milk 1 ½ cups
Buttermilk 1 ½ cups
Method of prep:
1. Sift together the dry ingredients
2. Cut in the butter (using a cheese grater to shred the cheese works brilliantly)
3. Add the milk and stir, combining only until the mixture holds together
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until it forms a mass (about 2-3 turns)
5. Roll out the dough to a thickness of ½ inch. Cut biscuits with a floured cutter and place on a parchment paper lined sheet tray. Make sure the biscuits butt-up against each other, as the biscuits will help each other rise!
6. Bake at 400 degrees until the tops are light brown, about 10-12 minutes. Don’t be afraid to pop one open to make sure they are done inside.
Strawberry filling
Yield 3 cups
Strawberries, sliced 2 pints
Sugar, granulated 1.5 cups
Water 2 cups
Vanilla extract 1 tbsp
Pinch of salt
Method of prep:
In a medium saucepan, add water, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add strawberries and cook for 1 minute. Strain strawberries out into a bowl and reduce the liquid left over by boiling for about 10 minutes. Pour liquid over strawberries and add vanilla extract.
Whipped cream
yield 3 cups
Heavy whipping cream 1 pint
Powdered sugar, sifted 1 cup
Vanilla extract 1 tsp
Method of prep:
In a stand mixer with a whip attachment, add all ingredients. Whip to stiff peaks. A hand mixer can be used if a stand mixer is not available.
