Biscuits with Strawberries

I love eating warm, homemade biscuits with a little melted butter and sliced strawberries drizzled with maple syrup.  This is a simple but delectable breakfast to enjoy on your own or to serve and impress guests.  You can whip it up in a snap, leaving you time with your company and the morning to relax.

1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

zest of half a lemon (optional)

1. Make Basic Biscuits according to recipe.
2. In a small serving bowl, mix together the strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon zest.
3. Serve biscuits warm with butter.  Spoon generous amounts of strawberries over the biscuits along with the juices.
