Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake Ingredients

Strawberry Filling:

1 quart fresh strawberries (as local as possible)
1/3 cup sugar or less (to taste)

Shortcake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter (cold)
3/4 cup cream

Whipped Cream:

1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tablespoon bourbon whiskey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Strawberry Shortcake Instructions:

Strawberry Filling:

1. Wash strawberries in cold water, drain, and hull. Slice the berries to taste--the larger the berry slices, the more tart the flavor.
2. Put the sliced berries in a bowl and add 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar--the more sugar, the less tart the berries will be. Stir.
3. Cover and let sit for an hour at room temperature.

Shortcake:

1. Put oven rack at center. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Slice butter into 1/4 inch thick pieces and then cut into the mixture with a pastry cutter. Cut into a course mixture like corn meal, leaving some pea-sized pieces of butter.
4. In the center of the mixture, form a well and pour the cream into it. Stir in only until the dough is moist. It does not yet need to hold together like dough, so take care not to mix it too much. Let sit for a minute while you prepare and flour your breadboard (or table or counter).

5. Carefully turn the dough out onto the floured surface, and knead it just a few times until it is just holding together and not quite so wet. Take care not to work the dough too much, or your shortbread will not rise well. Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 7 x 10 inches and 3/4 inch thick.

6. Grease your baking sheet with butter or shortening.

7. Using a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough into eight rectangles. Gently transfer to greased baking sheet.

8. Brush tops of biscuits with a little milk or cream and sprinkle with sugar. Put in preheated oven.
9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until they rise and are a golden color on top.
10. Remove to a plate.

Whipped Cream:

1. While shortbread is baking, mix heavy whipping cream, Bourbon, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and mix in.
2. Whip mixture with an electric hand mixer until raised peaks form. It should take about four minutes (much longer if using a manual hand mixer or whisk).

Construction:

1. Let biscuits cool to a non-burning temperature, then use a serrated knife to split each biscuit that you will be using horizontally. Butter, if desired. Set tops to the side.

2. Heap about a half a cup of berry mixture onto the bottom halves of the shortcake biscuits. Replace tops. Place a couple more spoonfuls of berries on top, and top with a huge spoonful of whipped cream.

3. Serve and enjoy the strawberry shortcake !

In a medium bowl, stir together the strawberries and sugar. Set strawberries aside to macerate while you prepare the shortcakes. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, and working quickly, cut or rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and vanilla all at once to flour mixture and stir until just combined.

Using a large spoon, drop mixture into four equal piles on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12 – 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Remove biscuits to a rack and let cool for a few minutes. To serve, split a warm biscuit in two, spoon 1/4 of the berry mixture over the bottom half (make sure you include lots of the juice), top with whipped cream and the other half of the biscuit.

Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake
Try this nice strawberry shortcake recipe !
Ingredients:

* Biscuits:
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3 tablespoons sugar
* 1 stick butter, chilled
* 2/3 to 3/4 cup half and half, milk, or cream
* .
* Filling:
* 1 quart strawberries
* 1/3 cup sugar
* .
* 1 1/2 cups whipping cream for topping, or non-dairy whipped topping

INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the strawberries under cold water; drain well. Hull and slice the berries; place in a bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar; cover and let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour. Whip the cream (sweeten with 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar, if desired) until it holds a soft peak. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Set rack at center level.

In a food processor (you can use a pastry cutter or fingertips) combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and pulse to mix. Cut butter into about 8 pieces and add to the mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, but with few pea-size chunks of butter left in the mixture. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and make a well in the center. With a fork stir in the cream or milk, just until dough is moist. Be very careful not to overwork. The dough doesn't have to hold together well at this point. Let the dough stand for a minute. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over on itself (knead) 2 or 3 times, until it is holding together and is less sticky.

Gently pat the dough into a 6 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick and cut into 8 (3-inch) biscuits with a floured round cutter. Transfer to a buttered foil-lined cookie sheet. Brush on a little milk or cream and sprinkle tops with some sugar, if desired. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Remove to a platter and split each biscuit horizontally with a serrated knife. Butter the hot buscuits then top with about 1/3 cup of berry mixture. Replace the tops and top with a tablespoon or so of berries. Serve with whipped cream for topping...and the strawberry shortcake recipe is ready ! Enjoy it !
