- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 2/3 cup diced strawberries
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 large egg
- Sugar- about 1/4 tsp to top per biscuit
Directions:

- Turn it out on a lightly flour surface
- Pat into a large rectangle and then fold over three times
- Pat the dough to about 1.5 inch thickness
- Cut out with a biscuit cutter that is about 2.5 inches round (You will want to dip in flour so it doesn't stick... and don't forget like any biscuit, don't twist the cutter! Straight down and back up again)
- Place biscuits 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet
- Freeze for about 10 minutes
- Mix the egg in a bowl
- After 10 minutes, take the biscuits out and brush with the egg
- Sprinkle about 1/4 tsp of sugar on top of each biscuit
