Strawberry shortcake is a popular dessert that typically consists of three main components: a biscuit or cake base, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. It is a classic and beloved dessert, especially during the spring and summer months when strawberries are in season. Certainly! Here’s a classic recipe for strawberry shortcake:

Ingredients for the shortcakes:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ingredients for the strawberry filling:

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Whipped cream for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract together. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat the dough into a rectangle or circle about 1/2-inch thick.
  6. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out individual shortcakes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gather any remaining dough scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
  7. Bake the shortcakes in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
  8. While the shortcakes are cooling, prepare the strawberry filling. In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar. Stir gently until the sugar is dissolved and the strawberries release some of their juices. Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. To assemble, slice each shortcake in half horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of the strawberry filling onto the bottom half of the shortcake. Top with a dollop of whipped cream. Place the other half of the shortcake on top. Repeat with the remaining shortcakes.
  10. Serve the strawberry shortcakes immediately, garnished with additional whipped cream and fresh strawberries, if desired.

Enjoy the delicious homemade strawberry shortcakes!
