These homemade Strawberry Biscuits are made with a lightly sweetened buttermilk biscuit dough that is filled with fresh strawberries and topped with vanilla icing. These drop biscuits come together quickly and bake up fluffy and tender with golden edges. Serve for breakfast or brunch and watch them disappear!
It’s biscuit time. But not just any biscuits… STRAWBERRY biscuits. I absolutely love baking with strawberries this time of year. Some of our favorite spring recipes are Strawberry Crisp, Strawberry Cupcakes, and Strawberry Shortcake Cake. And when we want a strawberry breakfast treat now we have Strawberry Biscuits!

Recipe overview
Buttermilk biscuits: This is a basic biscuit recipe made with flour, salt, baking powder, butter, and buttermilk. I also add some sugar and a splash of vanilla extract to complement the strawberries.
Strawberries: Chopped fresh strawberries are mixed into the biscuit dough creating little pockets of sweet and fresh strawberry flavor all throughout.
Sugar topping: To make these biscuits extra sweet and add crunchy texture, sprinkle the top of the biscuits with coarse or sparkling sugar.
Vanilla icing: A simple mixture of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract creates the perfect icing for drizzling on top of the biscuits.

- Ease: Yes, these biscuits are made from scratch, but they are so easy. You don’t need any special equipment, and since they’re drop biscuits you just simply scoop and drop the dough onto the baking sheet.
- Versatility: Serve these biscuits for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. You can serve them as-is or topped with butter, jam, or whipped cream.
