Brush tops of dough with melted butter. Bake at 425ยบ for 12 to 13 minutes or until golden. Let cool on a wire rack. Combine chopped strawberries and mint; set aside. To serve, pour about 1⁄3 cup Bay Anglais onto each plate. Slice biscuits in half, and place bottom half on plate. Top with about 2 tablespoons chopped strawberries. Spoon about 1⁄2 cup frozen strawberry mixture over berries, and top with remaining biscuit half. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
