Ingredients
Shortcake Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more to dust
- 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter cold, diced
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/2 cup milk cold
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Macerated Strawberries:
- 1 1/2 lbs strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Whipped Cream
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
How to Make Biscuits
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients then sift together. Add 5 Tbsp diced cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or with a food processor until it resembles course crumbs.
- Stir together 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 tsp vanilla and pour over flour mixture. Fold together with wooden spoon until dough starts coming together then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
- Pat into a rectangle. Fold in half and pat down slightly into another rectangle. Fold in half a second time and pat down into a rectangle. Cover with a tea towel and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature (65˚-75˚F).
- Preheat the oven to 425˚and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently pat into a 5” x 10” rectangle (3/4” thickness). Use a floured 2 1/2" round cutter to cut out 8 rounds. Dip in flour with each cut and push straight down into the dough without twisting the cutter.
- Transfer rounds to lined baking sheet, 1/2” apart and Bake at 425˚F for 13-15 minutes or until golden on top. Cool biscuits on a rack for 10 minutes before assembling.
Macerate Strawberries
- Slice strawberries and place into a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Make Whipped Cream
- In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup cold heavy cream with 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla for about 2 minutes on medium/high speed or until medium-soft peaks form.
How to Assemble Strawberry Shortcakes
- Split biscuit in half. Add strawberries with some sauce. Top with generous dollop of cream. Cover with biscuit top, add more cream and strawberries.
Notes
- Make Ahead: While the dessert is best made and assembled just before serving, you can make each part ahead to make serving easier:
- Serving suggestion: Assemble each plate for guests to enjoy, or serve buffet-style, allowing each guest to build their own plate.
- Make the biscuits 2-3 days ahead if stored in an airtight container on the counter, or in the freezer for 3 months.
- Strawberries can be mixed with sugar and stored in the fridge for 24 hours.
- You can make the whipped cream a few hours ahead by whipping the cream slightly less than soft peaks. Cover and store in the refrigerator, and then finish whipping just before serving.
