Description

Strawberry shortcakes with biscuits so good they’re bad.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BISCUITS:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter Or Lard, Cold And Cut Into 1/2 Inch Pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon Cointreau Or Orange Zest (optional)
  • ¾ cups Heavy Cream
  • _____
  • FOR THE WHOLE SHEBANG:
  • 4 cups Strawberries, Tops Removed And Sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the butter and work together with your hands until you have a sandy mixture with lumps of various sizes, from pebble to pea. Add the Cointreau and cream and combine until uniform.

2. Flatten dough on a surface to about 1 inch thick and cut into circles with a cookie cutter or cup. Place on a greased baking sheet, brush the tops with any excess cream, and cook for 12 -15 minutes until golden brown on top.

3. Combine the strawberries and the sugar in a bowl and cover. Place in the refrigerator and let macerate for 30 minutes or more.

4. In a separate bowl, whip the cream with the vanilla until stiff peaks form.

5. To assemble, cut a biscuit in half, add strawberries and whipped cream to the bottom half and place the top back on.

I registered specifically so that I could comment on this recipe. These biscuits are incredible! And so easy too. The results were light and flaky with a moist interior and a very delicious slightly sweet and salty flavor. Fantastic–I’ll definitely be making them again.

So yummy and easy! I love the individual biscuits for the servings instead of the slices of pound cake (yucko) you sometimes see.
