If you love strawberry scones, you’ll love this easy recipe. Soft, fluffy biscuits studded with juicy strawberries and topped with a sweet glaze!
Can someone please explain to me why these photos look like crap? I hate when that happens. I make something amazing and I’m just not feeling the photography.
What’s that?
You think it’s because I was in such a hurry to taste these magical, fluffy little biscuits full of juicy strawberries and drizzled with a sweet glaze that I rushed through the photo session and instead just aimed, shot, and then crammed every last biscuit in my face?
Huh. Interesting theory.
You might be on to something there.
In fact…yeah, pretty sure that’s what happened. The smell of these biscuits was just too much for me. I wanted to eat them warm and I wanted to eat them all.
Don’t worry, though. I totally let my kids eat the leftovers. And by leftovers, I mean crumbs. #oops
I have a thang for biscuits, my friends, and these biscuits seriously did not dissappoint.
Not that I really worried about that much since the recipe for the biscuits came straight from Smitten Kitchen. I did top mine with a sweet glaze, but that’s only because sugar is my friend. If it’s not your friend, leave it off. Or drizzle on some honey. Or just smear on some butter. Orrrrr, you can totally bend down so that your face is directly over the pan of hot, steamy strawberry biscuits, open your mouth, and basically just inhale them as is. I mean, nobody could blame you.
Either way, make these strawberry biscuits for breakfast or for an afterschool snack and you’ll be in soft, flaky, buttery, berry heaven. True story.
Glazed Strawberry Biscuits
Ingredients
For the biscuits:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter cold
- 1 cup chopped very ripe strawberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or set aside a 12 inch cast iron skillet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Cut in the butter using 2 knives or a pastry blender until you mixture is crumbly with small pea-sized crumbs.
- Gently stir in the strawberries, so that they are coated in the dry ingredients, then stir in the heavy cream.
- When you’ve mixed it in as best as you can, knead it once or twice in the bowl, to create one mass. Don't worry about getting the dough evenly mixed, rather be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Generously flour your counter. Transfer your dough to the counter, generously flour the top of it and with your hands or a rolling pin, gently roll or press the dough out to a 3/4-inch thickness.
- Cut into 2 1/2-inch circles with a floured biscuit cutter or top edge of a drinking glass, pressing straight down as you cut. Carefully transfer the biscuits to your prepared baking sheet or cast iron skillet.
- Re-roll the scraps of dough and repeat. The berries will release more juice, so the second batch will be a bit more wet, but they'll still work out.
- Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden at the edges and the strawberry juices are trickling out of the biscuits in places. Cool in pan for a minute, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- While the biscuits are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream to form a glaze.
- Drizzle it over the still warm biscuits and serve warm or cooled.

Made these tonight and they were divine!! I’m eager to try the recipe with other fruits. Thanks for sharing!!
Beth says
Just made them!! Oh. my. GOSH! So freakin good!! If the milk made any difference in texture then it’s not a bad change. I, of course, haven’t had them with heavy cream but if you only have milk it will still be DIVINE!!! The glaze probably isn’t as thick, but still so dang tasty!! This will be in the rotation every time I get a massive deal on strawberries like the one I just got. (8 pounds for $7, very few bad berries)
Beth says
The heavy cream, can I use whole milk instead??
Karly says
I’m not sure, as I’ve never tried it. If you try it, please come back and update!
I do think it will work, but the texture might not be the same. ๐

Sugar and I are BFFs so I’m glad you added the icing. Love all the strawberry recipes I’m seeing lately
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
I want to rub my face all up in there. That’s not too weird is it?
Nikki @Seeded at the Table says
haha! I’m the same way and just want to hurry through the photo shoot. So glad you still posted the recipe, because the photos really aren’t that bad! They for sure still make me want to eat the biscuits, and that’s what photos are supposed to do, right? ๐
Caroline says
You are so funny. Love your description of your photo sessions…it’s like you’ve been spying on me! Mine go the same way!
These biscuits are so beautiful and truly, I think the photos are too!
Jennifer @ Not Your Momma's Cookie says
Strawberries are my absolute fave – I gotta give these a try!
jann jones says
The kids don’t deserve the crumbs… What crumbs? Shoot, these look so deluscious, so bombtastalicious, (yes, I created a word for it!), id have a hard time not licking the cast iron clean! Hmmm.. Wonder about cane berries in here.. Black, raspberries, etc…
Tahnycooks says
These look so yummy! I’m totally going to make these! Thanks for sharing your BEAUTIFUL pictures and such a delicious recipe!
I might add a little orange zest and copycat the flavor from Paneras. I wouldn’t do it to the whole batch, for fear of ruining your already perfect recipe!
Kathy says
I just made these! I decided I could not wait until we picked fresh strawberries. They are amazing! I’m trying to figure out how not to eat the whole pan. I doubt I can stop at just one. Thanks for a great recipe!
Elizabeth @ Confessions of a Baking Queen says
These biscuits look great love the strawberries, and sugar is a must! It’s my best friend ๐
Kim Bee says
These are seriously gorgeous. I don’t even think I’d leave crumbs for the kids.
Georgia @ The Comfort of Cooking says
I love that you baked these up Southern-style in your little cast iron skillet – awesome recipe! These biscuits look beeeeyou-tiful!
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says
