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.

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.

SKILLET STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Skillet Strawberry Shortcake image

Fresh strawberries are one of the sweetest harbingers of spring and summer. And strawberry shortcakes are most assuredly one of the best ways to celebrate the arrival of warmer, sunnier days. Of course, the petite, layered berry-biscuit stacks aren't exactly fuss-free. This impressive skillet strawberry shortcake recipe eliminates much of the hassle and mess of traditional strawberry shortcakes. Instead of flouring the counter and rolling and cutting out individual biscuits, you'll bake one giant skillet biscuit cake that's topped with macerated strawberries and whipped cream.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold buttermilk
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup sliced strawberries
4 cups ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 medium lemon, zested
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet; line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for shortcake together in a large mixing bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg yolk, and vanilla together in a glass measuring cup until evenly combined; set aside.
  • Scatter the butter pieces over the flour mixture. Use a rubbing motion with your fingertips and cut the butter into the flour mixture to distribute. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the center of the well. Use a rubber spatula to mix the flour into the buttermilk mixture to form a moist, shaggy dough.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared skillet. Smooth the dough to distribute evenly in the pan. Press the sliced strawberries gently into the surface.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and baked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • To prepare the topping, stir together the quartered strawberries, sugar, and lemon zest in a medium mixing bowl to macerate.
  • To prepare the whipped cream, combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla in a chilled mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat at medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Spoon the strawberries and juices over the shortcake. Serve with whipped cream.
