Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch chunks
¾ cup buttermilk (see note)
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
2 pounds strawberries, hulled and sliced ¼-inch thick
3 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 13x18-in baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and salt.
  • Add the pieces of cold butter. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized clumps of butter within. Add the buttermilk and stir with a rubber spatula until the dough comes together into a sticky, shaggy mass. Do not overmix.
  • With lightly floured hands, form the dough into 8 craggy-looking balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. (They should be bigger than golf balls but smaller than tennis balls.) Don't worry about making them perfect -- it's better if they are a little rough around the edges. Sprinkle the tops with the turbinado sugar. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden.
  • Put one-third of the berries in a medium bowl and, using a potato masher or a fork, mash them into a chunky purée. Mix in the remaining berries, along with the raspberry jam and granulated sugar. Let the berries sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, until saucy.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or beaters), whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the cream and beat until soft peaks return. Do not overbeat. (Alternatively, the whipped cream can be beaten by hand in a deep mixing bowl with a whisk.)
  • To assemble the shortcakes: Using a serrated knife, split the biscuits in half horizontally and transfer the bottoms to 8 dessert plates. Spoon about three-quarters of the macerated berries and their juice evenly over the biscuit bottoms. Let some of the berries spill out onto the plate. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and cover each with a biscuit top. Spoon more berries and cream over each shortcake and serve immediately.
  • Note: If you'd like to make your own buttermilk, check out the easy method here.teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup. Then add milk to the ¾-cup line and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly curdled and thickened.
  • Make Ahead: The unbaked biscuits can be refrigerated for up to 1 hour before baking. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze: place the unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid. Remove the firm biscuits from the freezer, place in an airtight bag, and store in the freezer. Bake the biscuits directly from the freezer, allowing a few extra minutes baking time. The whipped cream can be made a few hours before serving but err on the side of under-beating. Store it covered in the refrigerator and give it a final whip by hand to get it to a pillowy consistency just before serving. The strawberries cannot be made ahead.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

Make drop cream biscuits and sandwich them with fresh juicy strawberries and whipped cream for the perfect summer dessert.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups (248g) all purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ½ cups (356ml) heavy whipping cream (plus more to make whipped cream)
5 cups (625g) sliced strawberries
3 tablespoons sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Whipped cream (for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. It should become a thick dough and if needed, use your hands to finish working it together.
  • Using two spoons, scoop out and drop biscuits on prepared cookie sheets. Depending on size, you'll get about 8 biscuits, unless you want them smaller.
  • Bake for about 14-16 minutes, or until the tops and bottoms are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. I recommend rotating the pan halfway though baking for even cooking. Cool biscuits before serving.
  • While the biscuits are baking (or about 30 minutes before serving shortcakes), place the strawberries in a medium sized bowl and toss with sugar and lemon juice. The berries will become juicy as they sit.
  • For serving: cut each biscuit in half. Top bottom with some berries and some fresh whipped cream or whipped topping. Place the top of the biscuit back on top and serve.
