Preheat oven to 425ºF / 220ºC. Combine strawberries, sugar, and Banana Extract in medium bowl; toss, then set aside. Coat a baking sheet with Watkins Cooking Spray; set aside. In mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/3 Cup / 80 ml sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. In small bowl, combine buttermilk, oil, and Watkins Vanilla; mix well. Make a well in center of flour mixture and add the buttermilk mixture. With a fork, stir just until combined, adding additional buttermilk as necessary, to form a slightly sticky dough; do not overmix. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with a little flour. Gently pat with fingertips to an even 3/4-inch / 2-cm thickness. Cut into biscuits with a 3-inch / 8-cm round cookie cutter. Transfer biscuits to baking sheet. Gather scraps together and cut out remaining biscuits. You should have 6 biscuits. Brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly, then split in half with a serrated knife. Place bottom halves on dessert plates; top with some of the berry mixture and sliced bananas. Top with top halves, additional berries and yogurt. Makes 6 servings.
