Ingredients
- 3 cups ripe strawberries, sliced
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
shortcakes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar plus more for sprinkling
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2/3 cup buttermilk very cold
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup butter melted and cooled
whipped cream
- 1 cup cold cream
- 2 Tbsp confectioner's sugar sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced berries with sugar and lemon and set aside for about 30 minutes to allow the juices to start flowing.
- In a large bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter together. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and mix until just blended---don't over work it. I like to use two dinner forks.
- Drop 1/3 cup sized mounds of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Space them 2" apart. I like to use a medium ice cream scoop to scoop out my dough ~ it creates a nice mound shape that works well when it comes to splitting the baked shortcakes later. This recipe will make 6 shortcakes.
- Sprinkle a little sugar over the tops of the shortcakes and bake for about 12-15 minutes. They should be light golden, and you don't want to over bake them. Cool on a rack. 15 minutes works well for me, but your oven may vary.
- Whip the cold cream with the sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- To serve the shortcakes, split a shortcake in half and top with berries and a good dollop of whipped cream. Don't forget to spoon a little of the strawberry juice over the shortcake, too! Add the top half of the shortcake and garnish with more whipped cream and strawberries.
Notes
- For light and tender biscuits make sure your wet ingredients are cold. I like to put my buttermilk in the freezer while I prep my ingredients.
