Creamy Strawberry Shortcake

Creamy Strawberry Shortcake is a delectable dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a combination of sweet and creamy flavors that will leave your taste buds wanting more. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the shortcake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg

For the cream:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the strawberries:

- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
To make the shortcake, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the cream by whisking together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar.
To assemble the shortcakes, slice each shortcake in half horizontally. Spoon a dollop of cream onto the bottom half of each shortcake, followed by a spoonful of strawberries. Top with the other half of the shortcake and another dollop of cream and strawberries.
Creamy Strawberry Shortcake is a mouthwatering dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The shortcake is light and fluffy, while the cream is rich and creamy. The strawberries add a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a fancy dinner party.
