This sweet summertime strawberry shortcake is the perfect ending to any meal. Fresh fruit and cream are the keys to creating this delectable dessert. Ingredients:
3 to 4 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup butter, divided |
1 egg, beaten |
2/3 cup light cream |
1 cup whipping cream, whipped |
Directions:
1. Toss strawberries with 1/2 cup sugar and set aside.
2. Combine flour, remaining sugar, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs; set aside.
3. Whisk together egg and light cream; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Divide dough into 6 parts; pat into biscuits and place on a greased baking sheet.
4. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden. Cool biscuits briefly on a wire rack. Split in half with a serrated knife; spread bottoms with remaining butter. Top with berries and whipped cream; add tops. Garnish with remaining berries and cream.
