Method
Prepare Strawberries
- In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Toss to coat and let sit for about 15 minutes to release juices.
Make Shortcake Biscuits
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in heavy cream until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Pat into a 1-inch thick round.
- Cut into rounds and place on a baking sheet. Brush tops with extra cream.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Make Whipped Cream
- In a mixing bowl, beat chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assemble Shortcakes
- Slice shortcake biscuits in half horizontally. Layer the bottom half with strawberries and their juices, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Top with the other half of the biscuit.
