Ingredients
  

For the Biscuit Cubes
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
For the Assembly
  • 2 pints Fresh strawberries Hulled and halved
  • 1 container Frozen whipped topping (thawed) Or fresh whipped cream
  • 1 tablespoon Confectioners' sugar For dusting
  • 6 Wooden or metal skewers About 8 inches long

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Biscuit Cubes: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the milk until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 1-inch uniform cubes. Place cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake the biscuit cubes at 425°F (220°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack. (Alternatively, you can use store-bought pound cake cut into cubes).
  5. Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the cooled biscuit cubes and halved strawberries onto the skewers, alternating between biscuit (2 pieces) and strawberry (2 pieces) until the skewer is full.
  6. To serve, lightly dip or brush one side of the assembled kabob into the thawed whipped topping, or serve the topping on the side for dipping. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar right before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture balance, assemble these kabobs no more than 30 minutes before serving to prevent the biscuit from getting too soggy from the cream.
