Strawberry Shortcake with Biscuits has sweetened fresh strawberry slices on top of turbinado sugar-topped fluffy homemade biscuits and a dollop of whipped cream to finish them off. Ready in 35 minutes!
Mix together the sliced strawberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Allow the strawberries to rest until juices develop, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
For the shortcake biscuits:
While the strawberries macerate, mix together the milk and vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes. This makes homemade buttermilk.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 4 teaspoons granulated sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Chop the chilled butter into small cubes.
Add the butter to the flour mixture and mash in with two forks or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the homemade buttermilk until the flour mixture is moistened.
Divide the dough into two scoops and drop about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the biscuits with the heavy cream and sprinkle each generously with turbinado sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Allow to cool about 5 minutes.
Place the biscuits onto two serving plates or bowls. Slice the biscuits in half or break apart into large crumbles.
Add the strawberries, including juice, and top with whipped cream.

I highly recommend eating this amazing dessert while the buttermilk biscuits are still warm. Heavenly!
