- 1 lb strawberries
- 2 Tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons + 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Shortcake: (makes 8 shortcakes)
Whip Cream:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make shortcake. Mix dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk oil and buttermilk together and pour into dry ingredients. Stir together until fully incorporated. Knead dough 4-5 times in the bowl. Divide into 8 equally-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten between your palms to about 1/2-inch thick. Place on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until starting to brown. Remove and let cool on wire rack. Store in a zip-top bag.
- Wash strawberries, remove stems, and quarter. Place in a small mixing bowl with 2 Tablespoons sugar. Stir and place in fridge for 4-5 hours. (The longer they sit, the more "juiced" they will become.)
- When ready to serve, make the whip cream. Place cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until thickened and forming peaks. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
- Assemble: Spoon strawberries over the shortcake and top with a generous dollop of whip cream. (Optional: you can toss an additional shortcake on top.)
