Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced in half (quarters if they are large)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup reduced-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries with maple syrup, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat.
- Arrange the strawberries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the strawberries are soft and their juices have thickened slightly.
- While the strawberries are roasting, prepare the biscuits. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the sugar and then add the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough evenly into a muffin pan for a neat presentation or drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet for a more rustic look.
- Bake the biscuits in the oven at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- To serve, split the warm biscuits in half and top with the roasted strawberries and their syrup. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Roasted strawberries can be used as a topping for waffles, pancakes, or ice cream. The biscuits can be baked in a muffin pan for a prettier presentation. Store any leftover roasted strawberries in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
