Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
