Strawberry Shortcake

Makes 6

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
  • 2/3 cups milk (more if needed)
  • 1 quart strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and 4 tablespoons granulated sugar together in a mixing bowl.  Cut in butter, working until mixture becomes a coarse sand like meal.  Using a fork, stir in enough milk to form a soft dough.  The mixture should pull away from the sides of the bowl and all of the flour should be incorporated.  

Heat oven to 425.  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead for about 1 minute.  Pat or roll dough into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle.  Cut dough into 12 rounds (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter).  Transfer 6 rounds onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Melt a little more butter and brush top of these 6 rounds.  Place remaining 6 rounds on top of buttered rounds, sandwich style.  Sprinkle tops with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.  Bake until golden and puffed, about 12 minutes.  Meanwhile, toss strawberries with remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.  Combine cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla and whip to form soft peaks.  Split open hot shortcakes.  Fill with cream and strawberries and serve immediately.
