Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in the rhubarb and strawberries gently.
  5. Add buttermilk and stir just until combined – do not overmix.
  6. Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle each biscuit with turbinado sugar for a sweet crunch.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a hint of cinnamon to the dough. These are best enjoyed fresh!
