Strawberry Shortcake
Anyone else thinking of the cute, red-headed cartoon character right now? The cartoon character and this Strawberry Shortcake recipe have a lot in common. They are both sweet and adorable, and they both bring joy! Whatever you are serving up for dinner this summer, I promise that Strawberry Shortcake is the perfect dessert to go with it. The biscuit layers are flaky, and sweet, the strawberries taste tart and juicy, and the whipped cream tops it off to perfection.
Ingredients in Strawberry Shortcake
Step by Step Instructions
First you’ll want to make the biscuits. Sift together all of the dry ingredients and then add your cold butter. And really make sure that butter is COLD. I like to grate the butter into the mix because it is easier to combine. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, mix until crumbly.
Next, add the heavy cream. Using your hands, mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about a minute. Roll the dough out until it is about ½ inch thick and then cut into biscuits. I usually just use the mouth of a glass.
Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet or a baking sheet with parchment paper and cook for 20-30 minutes at 375. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, slice your strawberries. Take about ¼ of the strawberries and mash them up to release the juices. Add the mashed strawberries back in with the sliced strawberries. Sprinkle sugar over the top, stir, and let rest until ready to serve.
The last thing to do before assembling is to make your whipped cream. Add heavy cream to a medium bowl, and using an electric mixer, whisk until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until combined.Finally, when all the elements are ready, assemble your shortcakes. Cut a biscuit in half and spoon strawberries over the bottom half – make sure you spoon some of the juices over the biscuit as well. Then, add whipped cream and place the top half on top. Top with more whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
