Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour and corn flour in another bowl.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter, mixing well until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of cold water at a time until it comes together.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).
- Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
- Place the rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- While the shortcakes are baking, hull and slice the strawberries.
- Optional: Sprinkle the strawberries with a little sugar and let them macerate for about 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
- In a cold mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Once the shortcakes have cooled, slice each one in half horizontally.
- Spoon a generous amount of the sliced strawberries onto the bottom half of each shortcake.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Place the top half of the shortcake over the whipped cream.
Serve immediately for best taste and texture. Enjoy your homemade strawberry shortcakes!
Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy strawberries for the best flavor.
- Chill the whipping cream and the mixing bowl in the refrigerator before whipping to achieve the best volume and texture.
- When mixing the dough for the shortcakes, be careful not to overwork it to avoid tough cakes.
- For a richer taste, you can add a bit of powdered sugar to the whipping cream.
- If you want a twist, consider adding a touch of lemon zest to the strawberries for a burst of citrus flavor.
