Instructions
-
Prepare the Strawberries: Slice the fresh strawberries and simmer with sugar to create a sweet syrup.

-
Bake the Biscuits: Roll out the dough and bake the biscuits until golden, about 10-15 minutes.
-

Notes
Berry Mix: Feel free to mix in other berries like blueberries and raspberries for a twist.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the biscuits for extra flavor.
No Buttermilk: Use regular milk with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute for buttermilk.
Whipped Cream: If you don’t have whipped cream, use heavy cream and whip it with sugar to make your own.
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Biscuits are best fresh, but you can rewarm them before serving.
