- 1 tbsp baking powder
- .5 tsp salt

- 1 cup milk
Strawberry syrup
- 5 cups strawberries
- 1 cup sugar

Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and add into dry ingreditns (I use a kitchen aid mixer). Mix until the small pieces of butter are incorporated.
- Then add in the milk and mix.
- Dough will be thick. As soon as it's mixed and the dough is sticky, it's done...don't overmix this dough.
- Drop the dough by the tablespooon full onto a lightly greased cookie sheet equally spaced apart.
- Bake for 12-15 min at 425 degrees until golden.
- A toothpick should come out clean when the biscuit is done.
Strawberry syrup
- Mash strawberries with sugar. Use more or less sugar for your family's preference.
- Add one package of Certo pectin, just so the syrup will hold in the fridge for longer than a few days.
- Syrup should stay about 3 weeks in your fridge - if it lasts that long.
