Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the biscuit dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

Step 3: Shape the dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut the dough into 6-8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake the biscuits

Bake the biscuits for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack and let them cool completely.

Step 5: Make the strawberry filling

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and the sugar has dissolved.

Step 6: Assemble the shortcakes

Using a serrated knife, split each biscuit in half horizontally. Spoon some of the strawberry mixture onto the bottom half of each biscuit, then top with a dollop of whipped cream. Place the top half of the biscuit back on top and serve immediately.

Tips:

Be sure to use cold butter when making the biscuit dough. This will help to create a flaky texture.
If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half or whole milk instead.
To make whipped cream, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
If you like your strawberry filling to be sweeter, you can add more sugar to taste.
