Ingredients

Shortcake

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 4 tsps baking powder
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 12 Tbsps cold unsalted butter
  • ½ cup cream
  • 2 eggs

Toppings

  • 6 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups 35% whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a food processor pulse flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to mix. Add butter and pulse until it is pea-sized.
  • Whisk cream and eggs together and pour over flour mix. Pulse until it forms a ball. 20-30 pulses.
  • Divide into 6 equal portions and drop onto a baking sheet (or drop from a measuring cup).
  • Bake about 25 minutes until golden brown. Check for doneness until a tooth pick in the center of the biscuit comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool before cutting horizontally in half.
  • Clean and slice berries. Allow them to sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes. (Can be more). You will get some juice forming but not much.
  • Beat whipping cream with vanilla until it forms soft peaks.
  • Slice cool biscuits horizontally in half. Mound some cream on the bottom half and about ¾ cup of berries. Add the top of the biscuits, top with more cream and another ¼ cup of berries.
  • Serve at room temperature for best flavour.
