Strawberry shortcakes for National Strawberry Shortcake Day🍓

Recipe adapted from John Kanell. Makes about 8 (3-inch) strawberry shortcakes.

For the Strawberries
1½ pounds strawberries, sliced (675g)
⅓ cup granulated sugar (67g)

Mix the sugar and strawberries together, and put in the fridge to become syrupy while you prepare everything else.

For the Biscuits:
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
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 pouch (9 g) vanilla sugar
2 tablespoons cold whipping cream for brushing on top
1 tbsp white sugar or vanilla sugar for sprinkling on top

Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then work in the cold butter with your hands until it’s in small pieces no bigger than a pea. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla then pour this into the flour mixture and mix using a fork until just combined. Dump the dough onto a generously floured counter, gently bring it together, then pat it down to a 1-inch thickness. Use a floured 3-inch round cutter to cut out your shortcakes, and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with cold whipping cream, then sprinkle on your sugar, and bake these at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, or until golden on top. Let your shortcakes cool on the pan for at least 20 minutes and in the meantime, make the whipped cream.

For the Whipped Cream:
2 cups cold whipping cream (480ml)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 pouch (9 g) vanilla sugar

Beat the above together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.

Put everything together:
Cut a cooled biscuit in half, add a generous scoop of whipped cream to the bottom half of the biscuit, followed by a pile of syrupy strawberries, and the top half of the biscuit. Add more cream and strawberries on top, and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
