Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for whipping)
  • 1 cup sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (halved)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 cup sugar.
  3. Cut in the butter until crumbly using 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter.
  4. Whisk together wet ingredients in another bowl: whisk 1 large egg, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Mix wet and dry ingredients together: gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Knead the dough on a floured surface gently a couple of times before rolling out to about 1-inch thickness.
  7. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter and place them on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Combine strawberries in a saucepan over medium heat: add 1 cup of halved fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and drizzle in 1 tbsp lemon juice.
  10. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  11. Cool the sauce slightly after removing from heat.
  12. Slice baked shortcakes in half carefully to create two layers.
  13. Layer with whipped cream and strawberry sauce generously on each bottom half of the shortcake.
  14. Top with the other half of the shortcake and serve immediately!
