A simple and delightful strawberry shortcake recipe that captures summer memories with layered tender shortcakes, juicy strawberries, and fluffy whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries by combining them with sugar and letting them sit to draw out the juices.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Prepare the dry ingredients by whisking flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  4. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Combine wet ingredients by stirring in heavy cream and vanilla until just mixed.
  6. Shape the dough on a floured surface and knead gently; pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
  7. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter and place them on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  9. Cool slightly and split the shortcakes in half.
  10. Assemble the layers with strawberries and whipped cream between the halves and on top.

Notes

For best results, use very cold butter. Serve fresh and pair with ice cream or iced tea.
