Strawberries are my girls favourite berries in the world. Fresh or dry they love them almost in anything and everything. Thus, i always have them in my refrigerator. I had a few pint of ripe delicious strawberries and a big bottle of heavy cream in my refrigerator, when i decided to combined both the ingredients into baking biscuits for our morning breakfast. Strawberries and cream biscuits instantly became a huge hit among my girls.
The girls love the trickling strawberry juice from the freshly baked biscuits. The beautiful vibrant red berries made a pretty sight on this gorgeous biscuits. They are crumbly,creamy and sweet with a natural flour of the berries. To have a freshly baked biscuits everytime, simply wrap the dough with a cling wrap and store them in a freezer. Defrost them whenever you have a crave for the biscuits and bake by adding 2-3 minutes of baking time. The cream and berries combination works really well. Crispy and soft strawberry cream biscuits are ideal with a hot cuppa.
