Good morning, friends! 🌞 It's a bright and beautiful day here at 1870s Homestead, and I'm so excited to be in the kitchen with you. My name's Rachel, and today I'm sharing something special—my strawberry biscuit recipe! 🍓✨
Strawberry season is in full swing, and there's nothing better than incorporating these juicy gems into our baking. These strawberry biscuits are a delightful twist on the traditional biscuit, perfect for a summer treat.
🍓 Strawberry Biscuits Recipe 🍓
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter (2 sticks), grated or cut into small pieces
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1 cup milk (you might need a little more, depending on the dough)
Optional: Buttermilk or thinned yogurt instead of milk
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar (icing sugar)
2 teaspoons milk
1 splash vanilla extract (or almond extract, if you prefer)
Instructions:
Prep the Strawberries: Chop the strawberries into small, finger-sized bits. Toss them with a couple of teaspoons of flour to help them hold their juices.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the Butter: Grate the cold butter directly into the flour mixture or cut it in with a pastry fork or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Incorporate the Strawberries: Gently fold in the floured strawberries.
Add the Milk: Pour in the milk, starting with one cup, and mix until the dough just comes together. You can add a little more milk if needed.
Fold the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it out, fold it over on itself a couple of times, and then roll it to about ¾ inch to 1 inch thick.
Cut the Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting. Place them close together on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Chill the biscuits in the fridge while the oven heats up, then bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Glaze: While the biscuits bake, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a smooth glaze.
Finish: Once the biscuits are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle them with the glaze. Enjoy!

![How much can we do in One Day | Canning Season Is Here!
Okay, we got a LOT done in this one! I started out harvesting oregano because I cant let the whole season go by without making my oregano tincture. Then we grabbed some of that gorgeous kale from the GreenStalk and got it into the freeze dryer, along with some stevia and lemon basil. While we were down there we checked on the rock tumblers, which are still doing their thing, and then it was time to deal with the cucumbers because they have been going gangbusters.
We made another batch of bread and butter pickles, and I showed you one of the little tricks Ive been doing with leftover cucumbers and brine to make refrigerator pickles. We also talked about an important canning lesson involving hot jars and cold jars because apparently Todd likes to turn on the canner before Im ready for it. [laughs] We got everything packed up and ended up doing two canning cycles.
Then I got to show you my $20 thrifted vintage dish haul, which was probably way more exciting to me than it should have been. But look at all those plates and bowls and little teacups! I love finding old dishes that I can actually use, especially when I can get a whole box of them for twenty bucks.

And then we made cowboy candy! Three pounds of jalapenos went into this sweet and spicy syrup, and it smelled so good and so spicy that it was basically clearing out our sinuses while we were making it. We ended up with six full jars and a partial jar, plus plenty of leftover syrup for the next batch. I love this stuff on eggs, tacos, potatoes, really just about anything.
So between the oregano tincture, freeze dried kale, bread and butter pickles, refrigerator pickles, cowboy candy, vintage dishes and everything else we managed to squeeze into the day, Id say we stayed pretty busy. And of course, theres still a mess to clean up. Theres always a mess to clean up!
