Large mixing bowl
Pastry cutter
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Electric mixer
- 2 Cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Cup Cold Salted Butter
- 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Lb Fresh Strawberries
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Preheat your oven to four hundred degrees first. Line your baking sheet with clean parchment paper. Wash your fresh strawberries under cool running water.
Slice the strawberries into thin and even pieces. Place them in a bowl with some sugar. Let them sit to create a sweet syrup.
Whisk the flour, sugar, and baking powder together. Use a large bowl for all dry ingredients. Make sure there are no large flour clumps.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture. Use your pastry cutter or two silver forks. The mixture should look like small yellow crumbs.
Add the heavy cream to the dry mix. Stir gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork the dough or it gets tough.
Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the pan. Bake for about fifteen to eighteen minutes. Wait until the tops are a light golden brown.
Beat the heavy cream and vanilla until thick. This creates the fluffy whipped cream topping. Set it aside in the fridge to stay cold.
Slice the warm biscuits in half horizontally. Spoon the juicy strawberries onto the bottom half. Top with a big dollop of whipped cream.
- Use very cold butter for the best flaky texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep it soft.
- Slice strawberries early so they release sweet juice.
- Serve the shortcakes while they are still slightly warm.
