Instructions

Prepare strawberries by hulling and quartering them, then mix with sugar and optional jam. Chill in the fridge.
Make biscuits by combining dry ingredients, cutting in cold butter, and mixing in buttermilk to form dough. Shape, fold, and cut into biscuit rounds.
Chill biscuits before baking on a parchment-lined sheet at 400°F (204°C) for 20-24 minutes until golden brown.
Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Assemble by slicing biscuits in half and layering with strawberries and whipped cream.
