Complete Recipe Fail: Popeyes Strawberry Biscuits


You may have seen this recipe circulating around Facebook. I was excited when I came across it. Simple ingredients and it seemed easy. πŸ˜’

The dough was perfect until you add the strawberries which are full of a heck of a lot of moisture!. it became my nightmare quick and made me so mad, that I almost threw the bowl at a passerby! 🀬

Solution? Less strawberries? Or more flour? By the way, I only used 1.5 cups of milk to get my initial dough. I did bake them. They DID resemble biscuits in a hockey puck sort of way, but in the end, I think I’ll stick with my no-fail strawberry scones!

Here is the recipe I used (copied and pasted directly from Facebook, so you can have the see the full glory of it):

How to Make Whipped Butter


Ingredients

Note: This recipe can be cut down in half if you want a smaller batch.

2 sticks (1 cup) of butter (I use salted), softened

4 Tablespoons of milk

Directions

Mix softened butter and milk in a deep bowl on medium speed with double paddles of an electric mixer until the butter is completely whipped. Serve immediately. You may store in the refrigerator; however, the butter will re-harden.

Use immediately or within two hours. Store unused butter in the refrigerator.

Serve on baked potatoes, dinner rolls, etc.

Strawberry Whipped Cream Dessert for Two


Ingredients

1 cup strawberries, washed and chopped small

2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

1 cup heavy whipping cream

3 Tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract

2-3 drops pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Sprinkle granulated sugar over the chopped strawberries and stir. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you make the whipped cream portion.

Whip the heavy whipping cream using a medium-speed electric mixer with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla, powdered sugar and food coloring (if using) and give a final mix, making sure not to over-mix.

Fold the sugared strawberries into the whipped cream mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

If desired, thinly slice strawberries and decoratively line the inside of a clear juice glass or mason jar (or something cute). Cut the end off a piping bag and fill with the strawberry mixture and carefully fill, being careful not to disrupt the strawberries (see the image above and video below for reference). Top off with whipped cream. I use canned to make it simple, but you can also reserve some white (undyed) whipped cream from earlier if you choose to keep some and pipe it using a separate bag and decorative tip.

Yield 2 servings. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve. If using canned store-bought whipped cream, wait to apply the whipped cream until just before serving.
