  2. Step 1: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then stir in buttermilk to form shaggy dough. Avoid overmixing for tender results in this strawberry rolls recipe—chill 10 minutes if needed.
  3. Step 2: Macerate diced strawberries with sugar and cornstarch for 10 minutes until juicy and thickened. Mash lightly for jammy texture while retaining chunks for flavor bursts.
  4. Step 3: Roll dough into 12x9-inch rectangle on floured surface. Spread filling evenly, roll tightly into log, and pinch seam closed.
  5. Step 4: Slice into 12 rolls with serrated knife. Arrange cut-side up in greased 9x13 dish, spacing slightly.
  6. Step 5: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 22-25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Rest 10 minutes.
  7. Step 6: Beat icing ingredients until smooth and drizzle over warm rolls for melty perfection.

Notes

STORAGE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture. Do not freeze as the texture will change.
MAKE AHEAD: You can prepare unbaked rolls up to 24 hours in advance and store covered in the fridge. Bring to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
SUBSTITUTIONS: For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with oat milk. Gluten-free flour blend works well as a 1:1 swap — add 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum if your blend doesn't include it.
PRO TIPS: Use cold ingredients for flaky layers; macerate berries fully to avoid sogginess; ice while warm for best melt.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve warm on a platter with coffee; pair with fruit salad; garnish with mint for presentation.
