OLD FASHIONED STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH SWEETENED FLAVOURED WHIPPED CREAM



Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake with Sweetened Flavoured Whipped Cream image

This is the way my Mom used to make Strawberry shortcake, and I still do. Historically, strawberry shortcake was served when the wild strawberries ripened in the meadows. The shortcake was a rich biscuit dough baked in a round cake pan. This recipe was taken from Mrs. George Treadway's handwritten recipe book, dated 1898 and is now part of the historic collection in the museum at High River, Alberta.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • When baking the biscuits, keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook. They should be golden brown on top.
  • Make sure the biscuits are completely cool before assembling the shortcake.
  • For the whipped cream, use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will help the whipped cream hold its shape.
  • Sweeten the whipped cream to taste. You can use granulated sugar, powdered sugar, or even honey.
  • Flavor the whipped cream with vanilla extract, almond extract, or any other flavoring that you like.
  • Be careful not to overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeating will make the whipped cream grainy.
  • Serve the shortcake immediately with the whipped cream and strawberries.

Conclusion:

This old-fashioned strawberry shortcake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The biscuits are light and fluffy, the strawberries are sweet and juicy, and the whipped cream is rich and creamy. Follow these tips to make the best strawberry shortcake you've ever had!
