In a large bowl combine the strawberries and the granulated sugar and with a potato masher, mash the berries gently until they release their juices, being careful not to crush them to a pulp. Let the mixture stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
In a bowl beat the heavy cream with the sour cream and the confectioners' sugar until it holds a soft shape and beat in the vanilla.
Split the Cream Biscuits horizontally with a fork, arrange the bottom halves on 4 plates, and spoon the strawberry mixture over them. Top the strawberry mixture with some of the whipped cream and arrange the biscuit tops on the cream. Serve the remaining cream separately.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
