STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Strawberry Shortcake image

To prevent the baked biscuits from crumbling when you cut them, wait until they are cool, and use a serrated bread knife to slice them in half very gently. Once sliced, fill them with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream for a classic take on this old-fashioned dessert.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 pounds (6 cups) strawberries, rinsed, hulled, and quartered
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons cold (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 cups heavy cream
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss strawberries with 3/4 cup sugar; let sit to bring out their juices.
  • In a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and the salt until combined. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal but with some pea-size bits of butter remaining, 10 to 12 times. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup cream and the eggs; pour over flour mixture, and pulse until some large clumps begin to form, 25 to 30 times.
  • Using a half-cup measuring cup, gently pack dough, invert, and then tap out onto a baking sheet. Repeat to form 8 biscuits. Bake until lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Beat remaining 1 1/2 cups cream and 2 tablespoons sugar with the vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • Slice biscuits in half horizontally. Spoon strawberries and their liquid over bottom halves. Spoon whipped cream on strawberries, and replace top halves of biscuits.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
2 quarts fresh strawberries, hulled
1/3 cup honey
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Stir in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon to form a rough dough. Scoop 6 mounds of dough onto a baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the strawberries: Combine the strawberries and honey in a saucepan over medium heat; partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are just softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Divide the strawberries among bowls, reserving some of the juices; top each with a warm biscuit and a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with the reserved strawberry juices. Photograph by Anna Williams

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
1 cup part-skim ricotta, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3 teaspoons lemon zest (from 3 lemons) plus 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with a strip of parchment paper.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool for 1 hour.
  • For the assembly: Meanwhile, combine the berries, salt and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Toss well with a fork to combine, mashing the berries slightly with the back of the fork. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
  • Dice 6 slices of lemon loaf, then divide evenly among 6 bowls or glasses. Top each serving with some of the strawberry sauce, followed by a scoop of ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE SUNDAES FOR TWO



Strawberry Shortcake Sundaes for Two image

I came up with this recipe to help use up all the strawberry ice cream I've ended up with. I like to serve these sundaes in tumblers / mixer glasses but you could use any glass you prefer. If you do not have fresh strawberries, frozen strawberries which have been drained are fine (spoon a little juice over the sponge if you like!). This is a very quick dessert to put together & is beautiful to look at.

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 4m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 -1 1/2 cup strawberry ice cream
2 pieces vanilla sponge cakes (I use a basic victoria sponge cut to the size of my tumblers)
1 cup whipped cream (or you can use squirty cream)
10 fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Place the sponge cake in the bottom of each glass. Press down gently to make sure the entire base is covered.
  • Hull & slice 2 strawberries & cover the sponge bases.
  • Spoon the ice cream over the top of the strawberries.
  • Hull & slice 2 more strawberries & cover the ice cream.
  • Pipe the whipped cream over the top of the strawberries & top with the remaining whole strawberries.
