Ingredients
for the shortcakes-
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar plus extra for sprinkling, optional
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons salted butter cold
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream cold + extra for brushing
for the strawberries-
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar see notes below
for the cream-
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
for the strawberries-
- Wash, hull and slice strawberries and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
for the shortcakes:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line one light-colored baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Blend in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until the butter is in pea-sized pieces.
- Whisk eggs and heavy cream together in a separate bowl and quickly add to the flour/butter mixture. Combine until just blended. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and be sure it is well combined. Flour your hands, the top of the dough and a rolling pin. Roll the dough out to 1-inch to 1 1/4-inch thick. Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut dough into 8 circles. (You may have to re-roll scraps of dough to get a full 8.)
- Place on prepared baking sheets. Brush tops of scones with cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar, if desired.
- Bake 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
for the cream-
- Add all ingredients into a chilled bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble: slice shortcakes in half and top with cream and strawberries. Serve.
Notes
- *Depending on how sweet your strawberries are, you just will want to adjust the amount of sugar. If strawberries are in season, you may only need 1 tablespoon of sugar.
