Macerate the strawberries

Fancy word for marinate. Combine strawberries with liquor and sugar, and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour. Refrigerate after serving. 

Mix + bake the biscuits

Combine first five ingredients, whisking to mix well. Crack egg into a measuring cup, then add buttermilk to make one cup total. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix butter with dry ingredients until combined well. Add eggs and buttermilk, beat on low for one minute. Up the speed to medium, and beat for three more minutes.

On a floured surface, pat dough gently to an inch thick, and cut rounds of desired size and stagger on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400° F until they feel light when lifted, and are cooked through (tear one open to test if you're not sure).

Fresh Whipped Cream

With a hand mixer or whisk attachment on a stand mixer, whip together heavy cream and sugar until you get stiff peaks.
