If you are craving a dessert but don’t want to make a big batch of anything, this single serve biscuit with strawberries and cream is the perfect option. It feels really elevated but it’s not overly complicated and tastes delicious. It’s a thick, fluffy biscuit topped with homemade whipped cream and macerated strawberries! How dreamy!
I love making single-serve recipes. From my own experience, if you live on your own or just with a partner, it is easy to eat savory leftovers, but it’s so much harder to eat a large batch of sweets. With savory you can eat them for lunch or dinner, but it’s a lot harder to pound 3 cookies with every meal until they’re gone, haha. It can be done, I know, but sometimes you just want a small batch — enter this single serve biscuit. It makes one large biscuit that is 1-2 servings, complete with juicy macerated strawberries and whipped cream.

single serve biscuit with strawberries and cream
ingredients
biscuit
- 1/2 cup flour 65 grams
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp butter cold
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp sour cream or greek yogurt
- heavy cream + turbinado sugar
toppings
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp sugar
instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Wash and slice the strawberries into bite sized pieces. Transfer them to a bowl, sprinkle with 1 tsp sugar, and toss to combine. Set aside.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Cube the cold butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to break each cube of butter into smaller, pea sized pieces. Add the sour cream and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto the table and shape into a 1 inch tall rectangle. Cut the dough in half then place one half on top of the other. Press the dough down and shape into a rectangle again. Repeat this process one more time.
- Transfer the biscuit to a lined baking sheet, then brush the top with heavy cream. Add a generous sprinkle of turbinado sugar.
- Transfer the biscuit to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.
- While the biscuit bakes and cools, make the whipped cream. Add the heavy cream and sugar to a bowl. Using a whisk or a hand mixer, mix until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes (or around 2 minutes if using a hand mixer).
- When the biscuit has cooled slightly, cut it in half, exposing the center. Top with whipped cream and the macerated strawberries you prepared at the beginning. Eat immediately and enjoy!

This turned out amazing! Would definitely make again. Just what I was looking for.

Do you have a recommendation on what greek yogurt or sour cream is purchased? (or if you prefer one ingredient over the other)
any plain greek yogurt will work fine! i often get mine at trader joes! i also love icelandic provisions skyr or fage. i probably prefer to use greek yogurt, but any brand of sour cream (full-fat) will work if you don’t have greek yogurt on hand!
