Yield Makes nine 2 1/2-inch or twenty-five 1 1/2-inch shortcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 cups plus 4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
Vanilla Whipped Cream for Strawberry Shortcakes

Steps:

  • Macerate strawberries: Place berries in a bowl; stir in lemon juice and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Let stand until berries are very juicy, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut butter into mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons cream; mix just until dough comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; pat into a 1-inch-thick square. Using a 2 1/2-inch or 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 9 large or 25 small rounds; transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover; refrigerate 20 minutes or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove rounds from refrigerator. Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons cream with egg yolk. Brush tops with egg wash. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes for small shortcakes and 15 to 18 for large. Cool slightly on wire racks, about 15 minutes.
  • Slice shortcakes open with a serrated knife; place bottom halves on serving plates. Add a dollop of whipped cream and the strawberries with their juice, and top off with matching shortcake halves.

OLD FASHIONED STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH SWEETENED FLAVOURED WHIPPED CREAM



Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake with Sweetened Flavoured Whipped Cream image

This is the way my Mom used to make Strawberry shortcake, and I still do. Historically, strawberry shortcake was served when the wild strawberries ripened in the meadows. The shortcake was a rich biscuit dough baked in a round cake pan. This recipe was taken from Mrs. George Treadway's handwritten recipe book, dated 1898 and is now part of the historic collection in the museum at High River, Alberta.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups sliced strawberries
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups heavy cream, plus additional for brushing on shortcakes
2 teaspoons decorative sanding sugar (optional)
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the heavy cream just until a dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball and knead it on a lightly floured surface one to two times. (Don't over-knead the dough or your biscuits will be tough.)

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the heavy cream, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Slice the shortcakes in half and then sandwich the strawberries and whipped cream inside them.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH FROMAGE BLANC WHIPPED CREAM



Strawberry Shortcake with Fromage Blanc Whipped Cream image

THIS IS A FAMILY FAVORITE. We use a scone-like shortbread with a kick of orange zest as the base and Beecher's Blank Slate cheese, which contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the strawberries and the rich, buttery flavor of the shortcake. Any tart fresh cheese, such as fromage blanc, will work, or leave out the cheese and use 1 1/2 cups heavy cream.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 cups heavy cream
1 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
4 cups (about 2 pints) fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
6 ounces fromage blanc (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • For the shortcake, sift the flour, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt into the bowl of a food processor. (Alternatively, you can make the dough using a pastry cutter.) Pulse to combine. Add the butter to the flour mixture and pulse just until the butter pieces become the size of peas. Combine 1 cup less 2 teaspoons of the cream, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla, and orange zest in a small bowl and add to the dough. Pulse until the dough is just combined, 6 to 8 pulses. Remove the dough from the food processor and knead gently once or twice to form a ball.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pat the dough into a 6 × 9-inch rectangle, approximately 3/4 inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and straighten the edges by pushing on them with the flat side of a large knife, such as a chef's knife. Cut the rectangle into 6 even squares (2 squares by 3 squares) and arrange the squares 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush them with 2 teaspoons cream and sprinkle the tops with 1 teaspoon sugar. Bake for 20 minutes or until the shortcakes are golden brown. Remove them from the baking sheet and let cool at least 5 minutes on a wire rack.
  • While the shortcakes bake, place the strawberries in a bowl and toss them with 1 tablespoon sugar. Cover and set aside.
  • For the topping, whip the remaining cup of cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla and stir gently. In another bowl, vigorously stir the cheese to soften it. Fold the whipped cream into the cheese. Refrigerate the topping until ready to use, up to 2 hours before serving.
  • When the shortcakes have cooled slightly, split them in half. Spoon about 1/2 cup strawberries over the bottom halves. Place a generous dollop of topping over the fruit and top with the other half of the shortcake. Finish with a small spoonful of topping and a couple of strawberry slices.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH CHEESECAKE WHIPPED CREAM



Strawberry Shortcake with Cheesecake Whipped Cream image

I cheat and use prepackaged angel food cake, but I absolutely, always, use fresh fruit and make the whipped cheesecake cream myself. I use a cream cheese whipped cream so that I stays looking nice when it has to sit around on a buffet for a few hours. Since the cream cheese gives it stability you can use WAY less sugar than traditional whipped cream calls for.

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Trifle Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ quarts fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10 inch) angel food cake, cut in cubes
½ quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Steps:

  • Mix 1 1/2 quarts strawberries and white sugar in a large bowl; gently mash strawberries with a potato masher. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl until light and fluffy; set aside. Beat heavy cream in another bowl until soft peaks form; add whipped cream cheese and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Beat confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture.
  • Layer about half the angel food cake in a large bowl or trifle. Spread a third of the cream cheese mixture over the cake and top with a layer of mashed strawberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of the cream cheese mixture. Arrange the remaining 1/2 quart strawberry slices decoratively. Chill until ready to serve.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM



Strawberry Shortcake with Vanilla Whipped Cream image

This summertime strawberry dessert is sweet, simple, and sure to please. Handle the shortcake dough as little as possible for light, fluffy biscuits every time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pints strawberries, hulled and halved
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dough
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 vanilla bean, split
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place strawberries in a bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand to release juices, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a fork to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Whisk together egg and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cream. Slowly add mixture to dry ingredients; mix with a fork until dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; pat into a 6-inch square, 1 inch thick. Cut four rounds using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Whisk together egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cream; brush over tops of biscuits. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes.
  • To make vanilla whipped cream, place remaining 1 cup cream and vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium heat; scald, and remove from heat. Cover, and steep for 10 minutes. Scrape seeds into cream, and discard pod. Pass cream mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl set in a large bowl of ice and water. Let stand until completely cold. Transfer to a large chilled metal bowl; add confectioners' sugar. Whip by hand into soft peaks (an electric mixer can curdle the cream), about 5 minutes.
  • To assemble, slice the shortcakes open while warm with a bread knife. Divide strawberries and liquid among bottom halves of shortcakes; top with large dollops of vanilla whipped cream and upper halves of shortcakes, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet strawberries. This will ensure that your shortcakes are bursting with flavor.
  • Make sure your biscuits are light and fluffy. You can do this by using a light hand when mixing the dough and by baking the biscuits at a high temperature.
  • Don't over-whip the cream. You want it to be thick and fluffy, but not stiff.
  • Assemble the shortcakes just before serving. This will prevent the biscuits from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcakes are a classic summer dessert that are easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your strawberry shortcakes are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
