BREAKFAST STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES



Breakfast Strawberry Shortcakes image

This recipe is sponsored by Chobani® with Zero Sugar*. Yes, you can have strawberry shortcake for breakfast! We adapted the beloved dessert for the morning by whipping up the easiest 2-ingredient flaky biscuits with self-rising flour and no-sugar dairy product. Finished with a quick homemade strawberry jam, they're a delicious way to start the day.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 cups no-sugar dairy product, such as Chobani® with Zero Sugar* Vanilla (see Cook's Note), plus more for serving
1 pound fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled if fresh (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup apple juice
2 to 4 tablespoons honey, maple syrup or agave syrup, as desired
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, dairy product and 1/4 cup water in a medium bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour the dough and pat it out until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Using a spatula or bench scraper, fold the dough in half like a book. Pat it into a 5-by-10-inch rectangle. Flour a sharp knife and cut the rectangle in half lengthwise. Cut each half into four 2 1/2-inch squares, flouring the knife after each cut. Evenly space the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until light golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, apple juice, honey and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Cook until the strawberries are softened, about 5 minutes. Uncover the pan and break up the strawberries with a fork or potato masher. Continue to cook over medium-high heat, uncovered and stirring frequently, until the foam subsides and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • To serve, cut each biscuit in half, spoon in some dairy product and top with the strawberry mixture.

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much in the oven. - Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - For a sweeter shortcake, brush the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar before baking. - Serve the shortcakes warm with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and ice cream.

Conclusion:

These homemade strawberry shortcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic summer treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give these strawberry shortcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
