Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups high quality gluten free flour see notes
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ cup sugar
1 ½ cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
turbinado sugar optional

FOR STRAWBERRIES

1 pound strawberries
2-3 Tablespoons sugar

FOR WHIPPED CREAM:

1 cup whipping cream
3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, measure gluten free flour by stirring the flour, spooning into a measuring cup, and leveling off. Whisk in sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add cream and vanilla and stir until combined. The dough should be thick and sticky. If it is dry, add a tablespoon or two of cream.
Spoon the dough onto prepared baking sheet into 8 equal biscuits.
Brush a little cream on top of each biscuit, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar if you want.
Bake biscuits for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown. The amount of browning will depend on the flour you use, so if you're using something other than Cup4Cup check the middles for doneness if they aren't browning.
Set biscuits aside on a cooling rack.
FOR STRAWBERRIES
Wash, hull, and slice strawberries.
Combine strawberries and sugar in a bowl and mash slightly to release juices. Let stand until ready to serve.
FOR WHIPPING CREAM
Whip cream until peaks form, then fold in vanilla and powdered sugar. Keep in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
TO ASSEMBLE
Slice biscuits in half lengthwise and top with a a spoonful of strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Add the top half of the biscuit and top with additional whipped cream and berries if you want. Enjoy!

Notes

Cup4Cup flour works beautifully with this recipe! It is fairly inexpensive and available at most grocery stores and on Amazon.

Cup4Cup does contain dairy, and if you need a dairy free option I recommend using Better Batter.

Bob's Red Mill does not work well with this recipe.

To make this recipe dairy free, follow the dairy free substitutions in my Easy Gluten Free Biscuits recipe and use your favorite dairy free whipped cream. Go Dairy Free has a great recipe and tutorial for whipped coconut cream.
