Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 serving plates

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Cold, cubed.
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries Sliced.
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar For macerating strawberries.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For whipped cream.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually stir in the heavy cream until just combined.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together. Roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.
  • Use a round cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • While the biscuits bake, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar in a bowl. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  • Once the biscuits are cool, slice them in half horizontally.
  • To assemble, place the bottom half of each biscuit on a plate, spoon some macerated strawberries over it, add a dollop of whipped cream, and then place the top half of the biscuit on top.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your Strawberry Shortcake!

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness of the strawberries based on your preference.
For a twist, consider adding a splash of lemonade or balsamic vinegar to the strawberries for extra flavor.
Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
