Using frozen grated butter when mixing the dough ensures a tender and flaky biscuit to soak up all the tangy-sweet berry juice. The buttery biscuits have a crunchy exterior and soft, flaky interior, and are topped with strawberries that macerate in sugar with lemon and balsamic vinegar. Ingredients Biscuits 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 7 1/2 ounces), sifted 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sifted baking powder 1 tablespoon demerara sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter (4 ounces), frozen 3/4 cup whole milk Strawberries 1 pound fresh strawberries, trimmed and sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices 2 tablespoons demerara sugar 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (such as Villa Manodori) (see Note) 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional) Whipped Cream 1 cup heavy cream (such as Straus Family Creamery Organic Heavy Whipping Cream) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Make the biscuits: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together flour, baking powder, demerara sugar, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Grate frozen butter using large holes of a box grater, and add to flour mixture. Gently toss to distribute and fully coat butter pieces with flour. Gradually add milk, stirring with a fork, just until dough sticks together when squeezed in hand. (Take care not to overmix the dough.) Drop dough in golf-ball-size rounds (about 3 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits about 1 inch apart. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes, rotating pan front to back halfway through baking time. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes Meanwhile, macerate the strawberries: Stir together strawberries, demerara sugar, vinegar, and lemon juice, if using, in a large bowl until well combined. Let strawberry mixture stand, stirring occasionally, until juicy, about 30 minutes. Make the whipped cream: Beat cream and vanilla in the chilled metal bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. For each serving, place 2 biscuits on each of 6 plates; spoon about 1/3 cup strawberry mixture over biscuits, and dollop with whipped cream. Note For the best flavor, use a high-quality balsamic vinegar.
