- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: In a bowl, mix sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and let sit for 30 minutes to release their juices.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Combine wet ingredients: Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in heavy cream until just combined.
- Shape and bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, then shape into a rectangle about one inch thick. Cut into squares or circles and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
