Strawberry Shortcake
With strawberries being in season I just could not resist making strawberry shortcake. Strawberry shortcake is one of those dishes that I make pretty much every summer to enjoy the fresh local strawberries. In fact it just wouldn't be summer without a nice strawberry shortcake! This shortcake is nice and crisp on the outside and warm and fluffy in the inside with a hint of sweetness. It is the perfect combo with the whipped cream and strawberries!
Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter (chilled, grated)
5 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 serving of strawberries (cleaned and hulled)
Directions:
1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
2. Mix in the grated butter with your hands.
3. Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract and mix until the dough is formed.
4. Split the dough into 4 equal parts and place them on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
5. Bake in a 400F preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
6. Whip the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl.
7. Cut the shortcake in half.
8. Place the whipped cream and strawberries in the shortcake.

Wow! does that look good! Can you send me the leftovers? Or your address the next time you making it?
oh wow! nice colours and looks delicious. I am going to have to try it.
Have you ever tried freezing the cake part?
Sabrina: No, I have not tried freezing the cake part. I will have to try though as I don't like finishing all 4 of them by myself within a day or two. :)
This is, by far, my favorite shortcake recipe. I've not made too many to compare, but these were delicious. Perfectly fluffy and sweet! thanks for sharing
Wow. I knew they would be delicious, but me and my friends were all blown away by how delicious these came out. In prepping the strawberries, we mixed them with a little bit of sugar, and let them sit out at room temperature to get the juices flowing. Then we mashed them (just a little) with a potato masher and they were the perfect consistency. The biscuits were outstanding! Thanks for the great recipe!
Yum! I never thought I'd be able to make a shortcake that would compare to those I could buy! What a great recipe.
Something I like to do is put some freeze dried strawberries on top as well. It adds another texture to the whole meal that I love! I like to buy freeze dried strawberries in bulk so that I can add them in lots of recipes or as a snack. You should try them! They haven't let me down yet.
