Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 lbs strawberries, trimmed and quartered (7 1/2 cups)
1/3-1/2 cup granulated sugar (to taste)
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2-2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (rounded)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 tbsp milk (for brushing biscuits) or 1 tbsp cream (for brushing biscuits)

Directions:

For the strawberries: Toss strawberries with granulated sugar in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes.
Gently press strawberries with potato masher to help release their juices, being careful not to crush them to a pulp.
Let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Beat together heavy cream, sour cream, confectioner's sugar (to taste), and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until it hold a soft shape (not stiff).
For the biscuits: Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda onto a sheet of wax paper, then sift again into a bowl.
Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add buttermilk and stir with a fork until a dough just forms (dough will be moist).
Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead gently 6 times.
Pat out dough on a floured surface with floured hands, reflouring surface if necessary, into an 8 x5 rectangle.
Cut rectangle in half lengthwise, then into thirds crosswise to form 6 (2 1/2 inch) squares, flouring knife between cuts.
Transfer biscuits with a metal spatula to an ungreased baking sheet, arranging them 2 inches apart, and brush tops with milk or cream.
Bake until pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool to room temperature.
When ready, split biscuits horizonally with a fork and arrange 2 halves, split sides up, on each of 6 plates.
Top with strawberries and juice, then with whipped cream.
