Description

Bite-sized desserts with layers of sweet, flaky biscuits topped with juicy strawberries and whipped cream, perfect for celebrating spring, Easter, or romantic occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pint strawberries, sliced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to form mini biscuits.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Slice the cooled biscuits in half horizontally.
Layer the bottom half of each biscuit with sliced strawberries, then top with whipped cream.
Place the top half of the biscuit over the filling and add more strawberries and whipped cream if desired.
Serve immediately.

Notes

You can customize these shortcakes by adding lemon zest to the biscuits or drizzling chocolate over the strawberries. Prepare the biscuits and strawberries in advance for quick assembly.
