Ingredients
- 1½ pounds strawberries (hulled and sliced (675g))
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar ((67g))
- 4 cups all-purpose flour ((480g))
- ¼ cup granulated sugar ((50g))
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed (226g))
- 1¼ cups cold buttermilk ((300mL))
- 1 large egg (cold)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cold heavy cream (for brushing on top)
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream ((480ml))
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, into the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your hands to cut the butter into small pea-sized pieces.
- Scoop the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 8 shortcakes using a round cutter or knife.
- Place shortcakes on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons cold heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While baking, prepare the strawberries: slice 1½ pounds strawberries into quarter-inch slices and sprinkle with ⅓ cup granulated sugar. Let macerate.
- In a mixing bowl, whip 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream with ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once shortcakes are baked and cooled slightly, slice in half horizontally.
- Layer the bottom half with macerated strawberries and whipped cream, then top with the other half of the shortcake.
- Finish with additional whipped cream and strawberries if desired.
