A classic dessert featuring layers of tender shortcakes filled with juicy strawberries and topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine strawberries and sugar in a bowl; let it sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the heavy cream and vanilla to the crumb mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead gently, and roll out to 1-inch thickness. Cut into rounds.
  6. Place the rounds on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.
  7. Assemble layers by splitting the shortcakes, layering with strawberries, and topping with whipped cream.

Notes

For flaky shortcakes, keep butter cold and handle the dough minimally.
