Ingredients
For the Shortcakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + more as needed
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar + 2 tablespoons for tops
- 8 tablespoons butter 1 stick, cold unsalted
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 cup milk or half & half) + 1 tablespoon for tops, whole
For the Strawberries:
- 5 cups strawberries sliced, fresh
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of strawberries in a large bowl and smash (macerate) them with 1/4 cup of sugar. Use the back of a ladle or a wooden spoon to do this. Mix with the rest of the berries into the bowl and chill until ready to serve.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar in the food processor. Pulse to mix.
- Chop the cold butter into cubes and add to the processor. Pulse the processor several times until the pieces are the size of peas. Add 1 egg and 1/2 cup whole milk to the food processor. Pulse one or two times, until just combine. You still want to be able to see butter clumps.
- Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and shape with your hands into a rectangle about 3/4- to 1-inch thick. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out 6-8 shortcakes.
- Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush the shortcakes with milk and sprinkle the extra 2 tablespoons of sugar over the tops.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden. Cool the shortcakes for just a few minutes.
- Whip the heavy cream in an electric mixer, with the vanilla and 3 tablespoons sugar, until soft peaks form.
- Find a crack in the side of each shortcake and gently separate them into tops and bottoms. Spoon berries over the bottom half of each shortcake, add a large dollop of whipped cream, and place the shortcake top on the cream. Serve immediately.
