A delightful dessert featuring fluffy biscuits layered with sweet strawberries and whipped cream, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for macerating strawberries)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for the shortcake)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: In a bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar and let them sit to macerate.
  2. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Incorporate the butter: Cut in the cold, cubed butter into your flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Blend wet ingredients: Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Shape the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.
  7. Bake to golden perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
  8. Assemble and serve: Once cooled, split the shortcakes apart, layer with macerated strawberries, and top with whipped cream.

Notes

For best texture, ensure your butter is cold. Can be modified with different fruits or frosting types.
