Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/4 cup butter (or solid vegetable shortening, cold)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and grease a skillet with solid vegetable shortening or butter.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add flour and strawberries. Toss until well-coated with flour. Using the large holes of a cheese grater, grate frozen butter into the flour mixture. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, combine butter with flour and strawberry mixture until the dough is coarse and crumbly.
  • Stir in buttermilk to make a wet, sticky dough.
  • Turn dough out on a well-floured surface. Gently knead dough until it is no longer sticky and holds its shape. Press into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut dough into 12 square or rectangular biscuits. 
  • Place the biscuits on the skillet, leaving some room between them to rise and cook.
  • Brush the top of each biscuit with melted butter and bake 15 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
