Ingredients

  • 1 box gluten free biscuit mix
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. butter, cubed
  • 2/3 c. milk (I used almond milk)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 lbs. strawberries, sliced or diced
  • 1/4 c. powdered sugar + 2 Tbsp.
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the biscuit mix and brown sugar. Then, use a fork to cut in the butter until there are small, pea-sized clumps. Next, stir in the milk and eggs until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Then, bake for 13-16 minutes, until golden brown. Note: Follow the package directions for your biscuit mix. You will need to add some sugar or brown sugar, as we want these biscuits to be lightly sweetened.
  • Meanwhile, wash and cut the strawberries. Next, place in a large bowl and sprinkle with up to 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Gently stir, then allow to sit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, begin to beat the heavy cream on low speed. Once it begins to thicken, add 2 Tbsp. of powdered sugar and vanilla. Then, beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 more minutes, until medium peaks form. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Slice each biscuit in half (think hamburger roll.) Next, layer the biscuit pieces with strawberries and whipped cream. Store items separately in the fridge.
