Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for strawberries)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for whipped cream)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry mixture and incorporate until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the heavy cream and gently stir until just combined.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it to about 1-inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out your shortcakes, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
While your shortcakes are baking, combine the sliced strawberries and powdered sugar in a bowl. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. For extra flavor, incorporate vanilla extract.
