Flaky and buttery Easy Popeyes Strawberry Biscuit Recipe packed with macerated strawberries and drizzled with icing. You’ll want to make these over and over again!

By now I’m sure you’ve seen the viral Popeyes Strawberry Biscuits all over social media! They are a seasonal item and go pretty fast at the restaurant, at least at the locations near me. Now before I tried the biscuits I figured they were just all hype, but after trying them they definitely are good when fresh! Here lays the problem…. have you ever had a Popeyes biscuit that’s a few hours old? They tend to get dry and just a little hard so you typically have to microwave them for a few seconds to soften them back up. Well this Easy Strawberry Biscuits Recipe are better and you can make them at home anytime.

Easy Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe

Now yes you could certainly run to your nearest Popeyes to grab a few of these biscuits but have you seen Popeyes Biscuit prices lately?! The seasonal strawberry biscuit is $2 for 1… that’s crazy! With this recipe, you’ll get 12-13 biscuits for less than $2. You’ll only need a handful of ingredients which majority you should have in your cabinets as they are kitchen staples.

• All Purpose Flour: Be sure the flour is not packed in the baking cup and that it is leveled. Adding more flour then needed will greatly change the outcome of the biscuit.
• Butter: The butter should be super cold. I like to pop mines in the freezer for about 5- 10 minutes.
• Buttermilk: You’ll also want your buttermilk super cold. I like to pull it out of the fridge right before I’m going to mix it into the flour.
• Baking Powder +Baking Soda: This will help the biscuits rise.
• Salt: Will give the biscuits flavor and also balance out the sweetness from the strawberries and sugar.
• Sugar: Just a little sugar goes a long way in this recipe. It adds just a touch of sweetness to the flavor of the biscuit. We also use the sugar to macerate the strawberries, which also add a good amount of sweetness to the recipe.
• Vanilla Glaze: After the biscuits come out of the oven, drizzle with a quick glaze.

Tips for perfect biscuits

1. Work with super cold butter. Cube the butter and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes while you get the rest of the ingredients together.
   
2. Don’t overwork the dough. Overworking the dough could result in a dry and crumbly biscuit.
   
3. Serve Warm. Ok so these biscuits are amazing room temperature but having them warmed just really takes them up a notch.
   
4. Have your oven preheated and ready to go. You don’t want to let your butter sit out too long at room temperature and softened up.
5. Save for later. You can certainly make these ahead but following all of the steps besides baking. Place biscuits on a parchment lined sheet, freeze the place in gallon size freezer bag.
