Method
Toss the sliced strawberries with half the granulated sugar and set aside to macerate while you make the biscuits.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, remaining granulated sugar and salt together in a bowl.
Rub the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the whole milk until just combined into a soft dough.
Pat the dough out on a floured surface and cut into rounds, then place on a lined baking tray.
Bake at 200°C until risen and golden.
Split the cooled biscuits and fill with the macerated strawberries and their juices, then top with whipped cream.
