Instructions
Make the shortcakes:
- Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- First, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt.
- After that, add the heavy cream and stir just until combined.
- Now, add the chopped strawberries and using a rubber spatula, gently for them in.
- Next, using a large cookie scoop portion out the dough and drop it onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, a few inches apart.
- Use the bottom of a glass to gently press the top to make a round biscuit shape. Sprinkle the top with some granulated sugar.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges.
Make the strawberry mixture:
- In the meantime, add the sliced fresh strawberries, to a large bowl. Add, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and stir to combine. Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours, or until the strawberries produce juice.
Whipped cream:
- In a large cold bowl, beat together the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assemble the strawberry shortcakes:
- When ready to serve, slice a shortcake/biscuit in half and top the bottom part with whipped cream and strawberries (from the strawberry mixture).
- Add the top part, add more whipped cream, and a strawberry on top. Enjoy!
