Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 quart strawberries, sliced
½ cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
½ cup butter
½ cup milk
2 eggs, separated
¼ cup white sugar
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
3 sprigs fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Gently stir strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl; chill.
  • Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl; cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk and egg yolks in a bowl, then stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Divide in half and pat into prepared cake pans.
  • Beat egg whites until foamy in a large bowl. Continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread over dough; sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack; cool completely.
  • Place one cake layer on a large serving plate; spread with half the whipped cream, spoon half the strawberries over cream. Repeat layers; garnish with mint.

I'm not a big fan of strawberries, but I still enjoyed this shortcake. The biscuits were amazing!

The whipped cream was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the rest of the shortcake was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shortcake didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I overmixed the batter.
