2 cups strawberries
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Berry bikkies are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the light texture of a biscuit. Perfect for afternoon tea or as a dessert, these bikkies are sure to impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
2. Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into small pieces. Set the strawberries aside.
3. Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Beat them together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and creamy.
4. Add Flour: Gradually sift the all-purpose flour into the egg mixture. Gently fold the flour into the mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly, then gently fold it into the batter.
6. Combine Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
7. Portion Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bikkies are lightly golden around the edges, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool Cookies: Remove from the oven and allow the bikkies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare Cream: While the bikkies are cooling, whip the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl until it forms soft peaks.
11. Serve: Once the bikkies are completely cool, serve them with a dollop of whipped cream and a few additional freshly sliced strawberries if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
- Use room temperature eggs to achieve a better texture in your bikkies.
- Properly mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy for a great biscuit base.
- Gently fold the strawberries into the batter to avoid crushing them.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the bikkies keep their shape.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Berry Bikkies! These delightful treats are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and impress anyone you share them with. Don't forget to store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
