Ingredients
Scale
For the strawberries:
- 3 cups strawberries, washed, hulled, halved
- 2 Tbsp vanilla sugar
For the biscuits:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 Tbsp raw cane sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp (85 g) cold, unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp turbinado sugar
For the Chantilly cream:
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp icing sugar
- half vanilla bean, or 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I used a Cookina reusable baking sheet).
- In a small bowl, toss strawberries with the vanilla sugar, then add to the baking sheet.
- Roast until tender but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes. Gently place strawberries and juices into a bowl. Set aside.
For the biscuits:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or the Cookina reusable baking sheet).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed cold butter (or grate it in) and work quickly to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, cream, and egg yolk. Drizzle all but 1 Tbsp of the mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a fork to combine into a ragged dough.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead it until it just comes together (2-3 times, do not overwork). Gently roll out to about 1-inch thickness.
- With a 2 and 1/2-inch/6.5 cm round cutter, cut out rounds pressing the cutter straight down into the rolled-out dough, rerolling scraps as needed.
- Arrange 1 and 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with the remaining 1 Tbsp of the egg/milk mixture. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until nicely puffed and golden.
- Transfer on a rack and let cool.
For the Chantilly cream:
- In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, add the whipping cream, vanilla, and icing sugar. Beat on med-high speed until medium peaks form. (I like mine more on the softer side).
Assembly:
- Halve biscuits horizontally. Spoon the Chantilly cream onto bottom halves. Using a slotted spoon, top with the roasted strawberries. Pour the strawberry juices in a creamer. Sandwich with top halves of biscuits. Dust with icing sugar.
- Serve immediately with the juices on the side and any whipping cream left.
