Stir in stawberries, coating them with flour, Stir in buttermilk until flour mixture is moist. Gently knead the dough on a floured work surface. Pat to about 3/4" thick, then use a 2" buscuit cutter to stamp out rounds (you should get about 16). Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake in 450 degree oven until light brouwn, about 15 to 20 minutes.

That top photo is like a painting! And this does look delicious. The strawberry is such a perfectly romantic fruit with its heart-shape and heart-color. I have a copy of The Strawberry Girl by Lois Lenski which I got secondhand when I was compiling books while teaching. I have never read this Newbery Award book, but I always loved the title because of that one word, "strawberry." And I love the sweet illustrations in it, by Lois Lenski herself. I will have to peek into this book today. And I just put "strawberries" on my grocery list!! xo Kari
