Description
A simple and delicious strawberry shortcake recipe with fluffy biscuits and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for strawberries)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
- Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch round cutter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble, split the warm biscuits in half. Spoon some macerated strawberries over the bottom half, top with whipped cream, and then place the top half of the biscuit on. Add more strawberries and cream if desired.
Notes
- For sweeter strawberries, you can add more sugar to taste.
- Ensure your butter and milk are cold for the best biscuit texture.
- You can make the whipped cream just before serving for the freshest taste.
