Ingredients

For the shortcake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 egg

For the strawberries:

• 1 lb fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
• 1/4 cup sugar

For the cream:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the bake oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
3. Cut the butter until it crumbles.
4. In another bowl, whisk together milk and egg; add to the flour mixture and mix until blended.
5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool.
6. Toss strawberries with sugar and let them sit for 15 minutes in order to obtain juice.
7. Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
8. Cut shortcakes, layer with strawberries and cream, and top with more cream and berries.

Storage Tips

• Store leftover shortcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for no longer than 2 days.
• Refrigerate whipped cream and freshen before serving.
• Do not assemble ahead of time; do it just before eating to have the best texture.

Serving Suggestions

• Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
• Soften with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pretty finish.

Pro Tips

• Don’t overmix the dough; otherwise, it will make your shortcake tough.
• Put the bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for a while before whipping the cream, as this will help thicken it faster.
• To enhance the strawberry flavor, drizzle some juice from a lemon on them.

FAQs

Will frozen strawberries work?

Yes. Fresh strawberries, however, taste better. If frozen ones are used, they should be thawed and drained.

Is it possible to make it free of gluten?

Just switch flour for gluten-free flour where required, and it will work.

What can I use as a substitute for heavy cream?

You can use ready-made whipped topping, but the result with homemade whipped cream tastes far richer.

Is this very sweet?

Not too sweet. Strawberries give sweetness by nature, and you can adjust the sugar level to your taste.
