Best Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
Doesn't everyone just love Strawberry Shortcake! Everyone I know does and there is nothing better than homemade shortcakes. It also tells your family or friends that you love them!
Cindy's Note: If you have the "big" sugar that would be great to sprinkle on top. If not, just use your regular sugar!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar (plus more for sprinkle)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup milk, room temperature
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. F.
In a large mixing bowl sift flour and baking powder. Add in sugar and use a whisk to combine together.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture and either use your hands to combine or a dough blender. You want the mixture to appear as coarse crumbs. Slowly add in milk and combine together until you have a ball of dough.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to drop a heaping mound of dough on the baking sheet. You will have enough dough to make 8 shortcakes.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until browned lightly. Cool on a wire rack.
To serve as a Strawberry Shortcake add some of my strawberry and apple jam then top with fresh strawberries and cream.
