Directions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the sugar, toss, and set aside.
  2. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet, sprinkle the tops with the remaining tablespoon of sugar, and bake according to the package directions.
  3. Let cool for 3 to 5 minutes, then slice the biscuits in half. Place the bottom half of each biscuit on a plate and spray on some whipped cream. Spoon the berries, including some juices, over the whipped cream, then place the other half of the biscuit on top. Serve.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
