Saw Paula make these on tv yesterday and it looked super good! These are considered a sweet biscuit because the tops are sprinkled with sugar before baking.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 quart strawberry, hulled and quartered
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
2/3 cup half-and-half, plus
1/4 cup half-and-half
8 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, toss the strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar together.
  • Set aside until time to serve.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Then pulse in the cold butter cubes until a coarse meal is formed.
  • Turn the flour mixture out into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
  • Pour in 2/3 cup half-and-half and gently mix it in with a rubber spatula or fork - be careful not to over mix the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a couple of times until it just holds together.
  • Pat the dough out to 3/4" thickness and cut out 8 round 3" biscuits.
  • Transfer the biscuits to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of each biscuit with the remaining half and half and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon sugar.
  • Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are a light golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Split each biscuit, spoon some strawberries on the bottom piece, then whipped cream and top with the other biscuit half.
  • Garnish with more strawberries.

PAULA DEEN'S STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Paula Deen's Strawberry Shortcake image

I made this Strawberry Shortcake for my brother's birthday. This recipe comes from Paula Deen's book "The Lady and Sons Just Desserts." This strawberry shortcake is very rich and best served cold. It goes great with a cold glass of milk. I was in a rush and picked up a can of "fat-free condensed milk" and used only 1/2 cup sugar for the glaze. It was still very sweet. I believe that next time, I will double the strawberry topping. This is the original recipe. Paula's strawberry shortcake is very delicious! Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large sara lee poundcake
1 (5 1/8 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced

Steps:

  • Slice the cake very thin and lay half the slices in a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish.
  • In a bowl, combine the pudding mix, water, milk, and vanilla with an electric mixer.
  • Fold in Cool Whip.
  • Pour half of this over the cake and lay half of the strawberries on top.
  • Repeat to make second layer.
  • Refrigerate until well chilled.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. This will ensure that your shortcakes are bursting with flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to chill the biscuits before baking them. This will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • When making the whipped cream, be sure to use heavy cream that is cold. This will help it to whip up quickly and smoothly.
  • If you want to make your shortcakes ahead of time, you can assemble them and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Just be sure to add the whipped cream just before serving.
