What You Need

Biscuits:

2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour

3 tbsp (45 ml) sugar

1 tbsp (15 ml) baking powder

1/2 tsp (2 ml) baking soda

Pinch salt

1/2 cup (125 ml) butter, cold, cut into bits

1 cup (250 ml) plain yogurt or

sour cream

1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar

Filling:

4 cups (1 l) sliced strawberries

3 tbsp (45 ml) sugar

2 cups (500 ml) whipping cream

3 tbsp (45 ml) icing sugar

1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract

Garnish:

2 tbsp (30 ml) sifted icing sugar

8 whole strawberries

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the yogurt. Form a ball with the dough.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, to obtain a thickness of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cut into eight circles 3 inches (7.5 cm).

Place on a buttered baking sheet. Lightly dust the cake with 1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar. Bake at 400 °F (200 °C) for 20 minutes. Cool.

Meanwhile, toss strawberries with sugar. Marinate at least 15 minutes, until the strawberries become juicy.

Whip cream until fluffy. Stir in icing sugar and vanilla.

To assemble, cut biscuits horizontally. Place the strawberries and some juice with a spoon on the bottom half. Garnish with a little whipped cream. Put the top half. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Garnish each plate with a whole strawberry.
