Ingredients

1 recipe Bodacious Baking Powder Biscuits

Instructions
Prepare the recipe for Bodacious Baking Powder Biscuits.
As the biscuits are baking, prepare the Macerated Strawberries by combining the sliced/chopped strawberries with granulated sugar. Adjust the amount of sugar you use based on the sweetness of the strawberries. Set aside for about 20 minutes.
Using a hand-held or stand mixer, prepare the Whipped Cream by beating heavy whipping cream together with powdered sugar. Beat until the cream mixture holds its shape on the end the beater. Be careful to not over-whip cream, as it can quickly turn into butter-like consistency.
When biscuits have cooled, split in half and layer with strawberry mixture and whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
*Taste your strawberries for natural sweetness before you sugar them. A general rule of thumb for macerating fruit is 1/4 cup granulated sugar to 1-1/2 cup sliced or chopped fruit.
Feel free to experiment with different fruit types and combinations. In place of heavy whipping cream, store-bought whipped toppings and puddings can also be used.
