Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the strawberries:
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the shortcakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
For the whipped cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the strawberries:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Toss to coat and let sit for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the strawberries to release their juices.
- Make the shortcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk and beaten egg until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch thick circle and use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out shortcakes. Place the shortcakes onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- Make the whipped cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the strawberry shortcakes:
- Once the shortcakes have cooled slightly, split them in half horizontally.
- Spoon some of the macerated strawberries and their juices onto the bottom half of each shortcake.
- Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, then place the top half of the shortcake on top.
- Add more strawberries and whipped cream on top if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade strawberry shortcake!
