Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for spreading)
- ½ cup strawberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Additional toppings (fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or mint leaves)
- 4 additional biscuits for stacking
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means your yeast is alive and ready to work its magic!
- Mix the Dough: Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Pour in the melted butter. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough begins to come together.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Biscuits: Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface again. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass.
- Second Rise: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: While the biscuits are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- Assemble the Stacks: Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly. Take one biscuit, spread a generous amount of butter on top, drizzle with strawberry sauce, and place another biscuit on top. Repeat for all servings.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each biscuit stack with additional strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or mint leaves for a burst of flavor and freshness.
