Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cut in small pieces
- ⅔ cup buttermilk cold
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries diced, approximately 8 ounces
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚ with a 10" cast iron skillet inside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a whisk, stir dry ingredients together thoroughly.
- Add 6 Tablespoons of cold butter to the dry ingredients and using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until butter pieces are pea sized and incorporated into the dry ingredients well.
- Add in diced strawberries and toss to combine.
- Add buttermilk and vanilla extract and stir gently so that ingredients are just combined.
- Place the bowl with the biscuit dough in the freezer for 5 minutes while you complete the next step.

- Place the skillet back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
