Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Let them sit to release their juices.
  3. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add cold butter to the flour mixture and mix until crumbly.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently.
  7. Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds.
  8. Place the rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
  9. Once baked, let the shortcakes cool slightly.
  10. Assemble by splitting the shortcakes, adding strawberries and whipped cream in between, and topping with more strawberries.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the strawberries.
  • Shortcakes can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
  • Serve with whipped cream for a classic touch.
