Strawberries are one of our favorite fruits, and we love reaching for the juicy gems when a dish could use extra sweet flavor. Recently, we’ve come across a fun way to use the fruit that’s inspired by a Popeyes menu item: strawberry biscuits. These biscuits are studded with the chunks of the fresh fruit, which gives them a burst of sweetness in every bite. The strawberries also balance the butteriness of the biscuits so they’re not overly rich. Sound like a treat you’d want to try? If so, ditch the drive-thru and read through to learn how to make your own strawberry biscuits at home!
Earlier this year, Popeyes launched their strawberry biscuit as a limited-edition menu item. This salted biscuit is filled with chopped strawberries and topped with icing to give it a sweet taste. Think of it as a twist on a classic strawberry shortcake where strawberries and whipped cream are stuffed in a biscuit.
When making strawberry-filled biscuits, you’ll want the fruit to be evenly distributed throughout the flaky dough. This ensures that all of the strawberries bake and soften at the same time. Also, it allows you to get plenty of pieces of sweet fruit in each bite. To do this, follow these four steps from Jessica Randhawa, recipe creator behind The Forked Spoon.
As you can see, adding fresh strawberries into homemade biscuits is a breeze. But this process is just easy with frozen strawberries: simply thaw them in the fridge overnight, drain excess liquid and dry them thoroughly. Then, chop the thawed strawberries and incorporate them into the biscuit dough as directed in the recipe below.

Now’s the fun part: recreating your own version of this fast food favorite. Here, Randhawa shares a simple recipe for Strawberry Biscuits that boasts a more intense fruit flavor thanks to the addition of strawberries in the glaze. This results in a batch of biscuits that are perfectly rich, buttery and sweet to enjoy as a morning or afternoon treat.
Homemade biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for one to two days at home temperature. To warm them up, use tips from our story on how to reheat biscuits so they taste like they’re freshly baked again!
