Instructions
Preheat oven 400 degrees F.
Place your strawberries in a bowl with 1/4 cup of sugar. Toss well and set aside or in the fridge for awhile.
In a food processor, pulse together all the dry ingredients. Then pulse in the butter until it makes something that looks like coarse meal. Place mixture into a large bowl and add half and half and just blend with a fork or spatula. Don't over stir or it will make the biscuits tough.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and fold it over on itself a couple of times. Just enough to make sure it holds together. Pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thick and use a 3 inch biscuit cutter to cut your biscuits.
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush tops with some half and half and sprinkle a little sugar on top. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are just turning brown on top.
Remove from oven to cool. Take a biscuit, slice in half and then cut into small cubes. Place some on a dish, then some of the strawberry mixture with juice, a bit of whipped cream and repeat. Garnish with a strawberry and some biscuit crumbs.
