Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
Granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water or milk, for egg wash
2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and thickly sliced
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
Sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Combine the eggs and heavy cream in a measuring cup and, with the mixer still on low, add to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
  • Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough 1/2 to 5/8 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Dip a 2-inch plain round cutter in flour and cut 16 to 18 biscuits. Place on the sheet pan, brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. Cool on the pan.
  • To serve, toss the strawberries with 1/3 cup of sugar and the Grand Marnier in a medium bowl. Place the berries in 6 martini glasses, top each with a dollop of whipped cream, and serve with 2 or 3 shortcakes on the side.

This is the best strawberry shortcake recipe I've ever tried! The biscuits are so easy to make and they turned out so flaky and delicious. The strawberries were perfectly ripe and the lemon curd was the perfect finishing touch.

This deconstructed strawberry shortcake was a hit at my last dinner party! The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were amazing. I loved the combination of the sweet strawberries, the tangy lemon curd, and the buttery biscuits.
