Begin by slicing the strawberries. Add 1 tsp of sugar to your sliced fresh strawberries. This will allow them to macerate and release their sweet natural juices. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt).
Add the cubed cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about the size of small peas).
Stir in the cold milk and vanilla extract until just combined to form a soft biscuit dough (do not over mix!).
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into portions. Combine two scoops and gently press them together to form one biscuit (this creates a taller, more structured strawberry shortcake biscuit). This recipe should make 12 biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and gently shape if needed. Sprinkle the tops generously with coarse sugar.
Bake for 13–18 minutes, until golden brown.
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or separate bowl, make the whipped cream by beating heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Serve heaped with whipped cream and strawberries, or slice and serve sandwich-style. You can also serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Save time/prep ahead:
- Bake the sweet biscuits ahead of time.
- Slice and macerate the strawberries ahead of time for deeper flavor.
- Whipped cream is best served immediately. We highly recommend using home whipped cream but to make it faster you can buy whipped cream from the grocery store.
