Made this for the first time this morning and it was a big hit for the whole family. I cobbled the recipe together from a few sources, so I thought I would write it up to make it easier to repeat. Note that the shortcake is biscuit-like (i.e., super-delicious)<\/em>, rather than cake-like. If you prefer sponge-cake style, move along.<\/em><\/p>\n

Strawberry Shortcake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Strawberries<\/span><\/strong>
\n1 \u00bd lbs strawberries, quartered
\n2-3 tbsp sugar<\/p>\n

Whipped Cream<\/span><\/strong>
\n1 c heavy cream
\n2 tbsp sugar
\n\u00bd tsp vanilla<\/p>\n

Shortcake
\n<\/span><\/strong>2 c flour
\n2 tbsp sugar
\n1 tbsp baking powder
\n\u00bd tsp salt
\n6 tbsp butter, cold, unsalted
\n1 beaten egg
\n2\/3 c milk<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0.<\/p>\n

Slice the strawberries and mix with sugar (2-3 tbsp depending on your preferences and the sweetness of the berries). Set aside for at least 30 minutes. The strawberries will shed liquid which makes the sugar properly syrupy.<\/p>\n

Whip cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Set aside.<\/p>\n

For the shortcake, thoroughly mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter (I like to pulse it a few times in the food processor) until mixture is crumbly with pea-sized chunks of butter. (The amount of butter in this step is variable depending how buttery you want your shortcake to be.) Combine beaten egg and milk; add all at once to the dry ingredients and mix just until moist. Drop large, rough spoonfuls of dough onto a greased baking sheet. Makes 6-8 shortcakes. (Optional: Before baking, brush a bit of melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.) Bake for 12-16 minutes until tops are golden.<\/p>\n

Cool for a few minutes. Slice shortcakes in half and spoon berries and whipped cream between layers and over the top. Yum.<\/p>\n
