Prepare the Strawberries:
In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices and form a syrupy texture.

Make the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine and Form the Dough:
Add the milk to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.

Bake the Biscuits:
Spoon the dough onto a baking sheet, forming small biscuit-sized rounds. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Assemble the Shortcakes:
Once the biscuits are cool enough to handle, slice them in half. Layer the biscuits with the macerated strawberries and a generous amount of whipped cream.

Serve:
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, buttery biscuits, sweet strawberries, and fluffy whipped cream!
