Ooops Strawberry Breakfast Treat

Hey everyone, has it really been a month? Goodness, grad school can suck you in!  I'll be blogging more regularly now that my certification exams are over and school is almost done! Less than a month left before the big move back to Virginia! 
This recipe started off as one for strawberry biscuits until it changed dramatically because of a few oopses. I forgot to buy a few ingredients and realized that I shipped all of my cooking tools to VA. So, I traded heavy cream for almond milk and some sugar for some maple syrup. The key is to buy farmers market strawberries for this recipe, they are juicy and wonderful! I hope you enjoy!
Serves 8

Ingredients
1 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/8 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp butter, softened (close to melted)
1 tsp maple syrup
1 pinch of salt
2/3 cups chopped strawberries from the farmers market (I diced them up after taking the stem out)
3/4 cup almond milk (vanilla or regular) + a little extra incase the batter is dry

Preheat the oven to 425 F
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients
Then add butter
Mix in with fingers
Add maple syrup
Stir strawberries in
Finally add almond milk about half first, stir then add the rest
Form into disks and place on a parchment lined baking sheet
Bake for about 12-16 minutes, checking after 10 minutes
Enjoy!
