Ingredients
- 1 cup (166 g) fresh strawberries, (washed, hulled, diced, divided)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, (divided)
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, ( melted)
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar

Instructions
Biscuits
Preheat oven to 450°F.- To a small bowl, add ¾ cup of strawberries. Toss with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and the remaining tablespoon of sugar together.
- Pour in the buttermilk. Stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Fold in the sugar-coated strawberries, including any liquid from the berries.
- Pour the melted butter into an 8×8-inch baking dish. Place the dough on top of the butter. Using a spatula (or your hands), evenly spread the dough out to the edges of the pan.
- Score the unbaked dough into 9 squares (3×3 pattern). Top with the remaining ¼ cup of strawberries. Bake for 30-32 minutes, or until the the biscuits are golden brown.
- After removing the biscuits from the oven, allow the butter to be absorbed. Let the biscuits cool slightly before adding the glaze (if using).
