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 milk
- 1 large egg

For the Strawberry Filling:

- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Whipped Cream:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk 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 out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Place the circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the strawberry filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the Strawberry Shortcake Sensation, place a shortcake on a plate, top with a spoonful of the strawberry filling, and a dollop of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until you have used all the shortcakes. Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint leaves.
This Strawberry Shortcake Sensation is a perfect dessert for any occasion. It is a classic dessert that is loved by everyone. The shortcake is light and fluffy, while the strawberry filling is sweet and tangy. The whipped cream adds a creamy and smooth texture to the dish. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
