Description
Creating spectacular strawberry shortcake is easier than you might think! And we have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t love the classic combination of light, tender, buttery biscuits; juicy strawberries; and a big pouf of vanilla whipped cream. It’s our go-to for spring and summer desserts, and prepping everything ahead of time makes entertaining a breeze. For the most tender biscuits, measure the flour by spooning (not scooping) it into a measuring cup and sweeping it off without tapping so you don’t pack in extra flour. Then handle the biscuit dough gently. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Annalise Sandberg.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus a little for shaping dough if needed)
- 10 Tbsp. sugar (divided)
- 2 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 10 Tbsp. unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk (cold; or half-and-half)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash; optional)
- 1 Tbsp. water (for egg wash; optional)
- 2 lb. fresh strawberries
- 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (divided)
- 1 pt. heavy whipping cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or grease it with cooking oil spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to cut butter into the dry ingredients (or rub the mixture with your fingers) until pieces of butter are roughly the size of peas.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add milk. Use a rubber spatula to combine them, stirring and folding ingredients together until the dough is rough and shaggy and no bits of loose dry ingredients remain.
