Ingredients

Biscuits:

2 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar (add a little more sugar if you want it sweeter)

1 tbs baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp minced fresh rosemary leaves, or dried rosemary crumbled (fresh is always best)

1 tsp finely grated lemon zest (added 1 1/2 tsp for a little more kick)

6 tbs vegetable shortening, chilled (I used butter flavored shortening)

1 large egg

2/3 cup buttermilk

1 cup diced (1/4-inch cubes) fresh strawberries

Glaze:

3 tbs unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 tbs sugar

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Directions

Directions for biscuits:

Adjust oven rack to middle shelf and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter baking sheet

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the rosemary, shortening, and lemon zest, and mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center.

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, then stir in the buttermilk, Add this mixture and the strawberries to the well, and mix with a wooden spoon just until blended. The mixture should be soft and tender. Do not over mix.

Turn out the dough onto a well floured board. Gather the dough and gently knead 2 or 3 times until it is well formed. Do not overwork it. Pat the dough, 5 or 6 times, into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a 3-inch round cookie cutter into flour and cut out a many circles as possible. Gather the dough scraps, pat them into 1/2-inch thick circle, and cut out more biscuits.

Place the biscuits on the prepared sheet and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool slightly.

Directions for glaze:

Combine melted butter, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Brush the glaze over the warm biscuits. Serve hot.
