THE BEST CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



The Best Classic Strawberry Shortcake image

For our simple and iconic shortcake, we discovered a great double-stacking technique that creates super light and high biscuits that are easy to split. This makes them easy to fill without crumbling. A simple recipe like this one allows its ingredients to shine, so use the very best berries you can find.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes and frozen
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pour in the chilled heavy cream mixture and pulse until just combined.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut out as many biscuits as you can with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Then pat the remaining dough out to 1/2-inch thick again. Cut more biscuits; you should get 12.
  • Put 6 of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with cream, then top each cream-brushed biscuit with one of the remaining biscuit rounds. (This makes it easier to split once they are baked.) Brush the top of each biscuit stack with more heavy cream and sprinkle 1 teaspoon granulated sugar on each biscuit.
  • Bake the biscuits until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, for the topping: Toss the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Split the shortcakes in half. Spoon half the cream on the bottom of the biscuits, top evenly with the strawberries and top with the remaining cream. Put each biscuit top on and serve.

THE BEST STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE YOU'LL EVER EAT RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Strawberry Shortcake You'll Ever Eat Recipe by Tasty image

There is really nothing better than a flaky and tender biscuit topped with velvety whipped cream and perfectly ripe strawberries to make the most decadent summertime dessert.

Provided by Tiffany Lo

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons loose-leaf Rooibos tea
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 lb strawberry
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground sumac
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ sticks unsalted european-style butter, frozen
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup turbinado sugar
¼ cup honey

Steps:

  • Steep the cream for the chantilly: In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the heavy cream and Rooibos tea. Transfer to the refrigerator to steep for at least 2 hours, up to overnight
  • While the cream steeps, macerate the strawberries: Use a small paring knife to stem and hull the strawberries, then halve or quarter lengthwise. Transfer to a large glass bowl and add the sugar, sumac, and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon to coat the berries. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, until the berries soften and release their juices, then refrigerate until ready to use, up to overnight
  • Make the biscuits: Line a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet (quarter sheet pan) with parchment paper.
  • In a large glass bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and baking soda.
  • Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the frozen butter directly into the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to gently toss the butter into the flour until coated. Slowly pour the buttermilk into the flour mixture and use a bowl scraper to gently mix until a shaggy mass forms. The dough will still look a little dry.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and use a bench scraper to help press into a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to gently roll the dough into a roughly 8 x 10-inch rectangle. Fold the dough crosswise in thirds, like a letter, then turn the dough 90° and roll out again to a rectangle. Repeat folding and rolling for a total of 4 or 5 folds.
  • Carefully transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes (this will help the dough hydrate and bake evenly).
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Transfer the dough rectangle to a cutting board. Use a large chef's knife to trim the edges to make clean sides, reserving the scraps for another use. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise and in thirds crosswise for 6 square biscuits. Place the biscuits back on the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush the top of each biscuit with the heavy cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
  • Bake the biscuits until risen and golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the top of each biscuit with the honey. (Microwave the honey for 10 seconds for easier brushing, if needed).
  • Make the chantilly cream: Place a fine-mesh strainer over a tall, narrow container. Pour the steeped cream through the strainer into the container and discard the tea leaves.
  • Add the powdered sugar to the strained cream. Blend with a stick blender until stiff peaks form, about 30 seconds.
  • When ready to assemble, split the biscuits in half. Place a bottom half on a plate and spoon the chantilly cream over top. Spoon a generous amount of strawberries and syrup over the cream and finish with the top of the biscuit.
  • Enjoy!
  • RECIPE BY: Codii Lopez
  • Chef's Note: The biscuits are best eaten the same day they are baked. If you don't think you will consume them all in one day, you can cut the dough and bake as many as you'd like, then wrap the remaining unbaked biscuits tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Unbaked biscuit dough should be stored in the freezer; storing in the refrigerator may cause the dough to oxidize and discolor.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Strawberry Shortcake image

There's a kind of magic in a summer recipe that you can make wherever you are, provided that wherever you are has, say, flour, butter, an oven and whatever fruit is most glorious is at that very moment. This is one such recipe, so simple that you can decide that you're having shortcake for dessert and make it so within the hour, and so satisfying that it may become your go-to for summer, the recipe you keep in your back pocket. Strawberries are the classic choice, but this would also be heavenly in high summer with very ripe peaches or any other juicy, macerated fruit.

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 4 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pints ripe, well-rinsed strawberries
1/2 cup sugar, or more to taste
4 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups butter
3 cups whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Pick over and hull strawberries. Cut in half or slice, depending on size. Gently crush about a quarter of the berries with a fork to release their juices. Mix with remaining berries and the 1/2 cup of sugar, adding more sugar if necessary. Set aside, covered, for about half an hour to develop flavor.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Into a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and baking powder. Add 3/4 cup of softened butter, and rub into dry ingredients as for pastry. Add 1 1/4 cups cream, and mix to a soft dough. Knead the dough for one minute on a lightly floured pastry board, then roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut an even number of rounds - 2 rounds per serving.
  • Use a little of the butter to grease a baking sheet. Place half the rounds on it. Melt remaining butter and brush a little on the rounds; place remaining rounds on top. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, and pull shortcakes apart. Brush the insides with some of the remaining melted butter.
  • Beat remaining cream until it thickens. Add vanilla. Beat again just until thick.
  • Place a bottom half of a shortcake on each plate. Top with a generous spoonful of berries. Cover with a top half, add a few more berries, and top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY & VANILLA SHORTCAKES



Strawberry & vanilla shortcakes image

Encapsulate British summertime with these cute little shortcakes, perfect piled high with clotted cream and jam

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 27m

Yield Make 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

350g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
100g butter , cold, cubed
100g caster sugar
1 vanilla pod , seeds scraped
100ml milk , warmed
1 egg , plus a little extra beaten egg for glazing
squeeze lemon juice
1 tbsp icing sugar
227g tub clotted cream
250g strawberry , tickly sliced
strawberry jam (see 'goes well with' for recipe, or buy ready-made)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and lightly flour a baking sheet. Put the flour, butter, sugar, half of the vanilla seeds and ¼ tsp salt into the bowl of a food processor, then pulse until fine. Tip into a large bowl. Beat the milk, egg and a good squeeze of lemon together, then tip into the bowl and bring together with a knife, using a cutting action, until you have a clumpy dough. Finally bring together with your hands if you need to.
  • Lightly flour the work surface, tip the dough onto it, then quickly shape into a smooth-ish disc. Using a rolling pin, pat out to 2cm thick. Cut out 8 rounds with a smooth 7cm cutter (you'll need to pinch together the trimmings). Glaze just the tops with beaten egg, transfer to the floured sheet, then bake for 10-12 mins until risen and golden, and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Beat the remaining vanilla seeds and icing sugar into the clotted cream. It will get runnier at first, but keep beating and it will thicken again. To serve, slice the very top from each shortcake to give a flat surface, then spoon over about 1 tsp jam. Top with a good dollop of the vanilla clotted cream and finish with the strawberries.

Tips:

  • Choose the right strawberries: Use ripe, juicy strawberries for the best flavor. Look for berries that are bright red and have no bruises or blemishes.
  • Prepare the strawberries properly: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them. You can use a strawberry huller or simply use a paring knife to remove the hulls.
  • Make sure the shortcake biscuits are golden brown: Bake the shortcake biscuits until they are golden brown on top. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form: When whipping the cream, beat it until stiff peaks form. This will help the cream hold its shape and create a light and fluffy topping for the shortcake.
  • Assemble the shortcake just before serving: Assemble the shortcake just before serving so that the biscuits don't get soggy. Layer the biscuits, strawberries, and whipped cream in a parfait glass or individual serving dish.

Conclusion:
