1 hour total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

For topping
  • 16 oz fresh strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping
For biscuits
  • Parchment paper
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (+ more for dusting)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 7 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 ¼ cups + 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1 large egg

Steps

    1. Prepare topping. Slice strawberries, place in large bowl with sugar, and toss until blended. Cover and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to macerate. Set whipped topping out to thaw.
    2. Prepare biscuits. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut butter into cubes. Place flour, salt, baking powder, and 6 tablespoons sugar in food processor bowl; pulse until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    3. Pour in 1 ¼ cups heavy cream and pulse until dough starts to come together but is still crumbly. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; gather to form 1-inch-thick square. Dip 2-inch round cookie cutter into flour; cut out biscuits from dough, then arrange on baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Gather scraps to form another square and cut out remaining biscuits.
    4. Whisk egg and remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream; brush tops of biscuits with mixture, then sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake 22–25 minutes until biscuits are golden. Transfer to wire rack and let stand 15 minutes or until cooled completely.
    5. Split biscuits in half; dollop with whipped topping, then top with macerated strawberries and juices. Serve.

Do not eat raw dough/batter.
