A light biscuit topped with delicious strawberries.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¾ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ cup turbinado sugar

Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/3 cup white sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- 4. Cut in cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (If desired, place flour mixture into the work bowl of a food processor with the butter; pulse several times to cut butter into the flour mixture. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl, and proceed.)

- 9. Mix together the sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup white sugar, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Allow berries to rest until juices develop, about 30 minutes.
- 10. Serve the strawberries with juice over the biscuits.
