Recipe for STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

INGREDIENTS

2 pints quartered and washed strawberries Sugar, 1/2 cup Four cups All-purpose Flour Four tablespoons of sugar 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 5 teaspoons of baking powder 1 1/4 cups divided butter Three pints heavy cream whipping One teaspoon of vanilla essence

STEP-1

In a basin, combine quartered strawberries and a half cup of sugar. Refrigerate the fruit to "sweat" out its liquids.

INSTRUCTION

STEP-2

Preach the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

STEP-3

In a large basin, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix in 1 cup of softened butter. Mix in 1/2 cup cream until a tender dough is formed.

Step-4

After kneading the dough for one minute, flatten it out to a thickness of approximately ½ inch. Place circles cut with a cookie/biscuit cutter measuring 3 inches on a baking sheet. Bake, coated with melted butter, for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step-5

Whip the remaining whipping cream and vanilla with the cream until it becomes viscous.

Step-6

Short cakes are made by combining cake, whipping cream, and strawberries with an additional cake on top. Flavor with additional cream and strawberries, if desired.
