Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature, plus additional for the skillet
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for the skillet
3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups strawberries, tops removed, sliced in half lengthwise
3/4 cup cold heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup strawberry jam
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Jerry's Sugared Pecans, recipe follows, for serving
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large egg whites
4 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • For the buttermilk strawberry skillet cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and dust with flour.
  • Beat the butter and 3/4 cup of the sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined. With the mixer running, add about a third of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, then add about half of the buttermilk. Continue adding the flour and buttermilk in this manner, ending with the flour, mixing just until the batter comes together.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Place the strawberries on top of the cake batter, pressing down gently. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over top. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • For the strawberry whipped cream: Place a mixing bowl and whisk attachment into the freezer 15 minutes prior to using.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the cold whisk attachment, whip the cream until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the jam and vanilla and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes more. (If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate.)
  • Serve the cake with the whipped cream and Jerry's Sugared Pecans.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the melted butter onto the lined sheet.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon and egg whites. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated.
  • Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

SKILLET STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Skillet Strawberry Shortcake image

Fresh strawberries are one of the sweetest harbingers of spring and summer. And strawberry shortcakes are most assuredly one of the best ways to celebrate the arrival of warmer, sunnier days. Of course, the petite, layered berry-biscuit stacks aren't exactly fuss-free. This impressive skillet strawberry shortcake recipe eliminates much of the hassle and mess of traditional strawberry shortcakes. Instead of flouring the counter and rolling and cutting out individual biscuits, you'll bake one giant skillet biscuit cake that's topped with macerated strawberries and whipped cream.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold buttermilk
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup sliced strawberries
4 cups ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 medium lemon, zested
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet; line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for shortcake together in a large mixing bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg yolk, and vanilla together in a glass measuring cup until evenly combined; set aside.
  • Scatter the butter pieces over the flour mixture. Use a rubbing motion with your fingertips and cut the butter into the flour mixture to distribute. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the center of the well. Use a rubber spatula to mix the flour into the buttermilk mixture to form a moist, shaggy dough.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared skillet. Smooth the dough to distribute evenly in the pan. Press the sliced strawberries gently into the surface.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and baked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • To prepare the topping, stir together the quartered strawberries, sugar, and lemon zest in a medium mixing bowl to macerate.
  • To prepare the whipped cream, combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla in a chilled mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat at medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Spoon the strawberries and juices over the shortcake. Serve with whipped cream.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Strawberry Shortcake With Buttermilk Biscuits image

Instead of shortcake or angel food cake, this delicious recipe calls for buttermilk biscuits. I believe this recipe originally came from a Bon Apetit magazine.

Provided by Lumberjackie

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 buttermilk biscuit shortcakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon chilled buttermilk
2 lbs baskets strawberries (about 7 cups hulled and halved, or quartered, if very large)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons raspberry preserves
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Biscuits: Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
  • Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Gradually add the buttermilk, tossing with a fork until large moist clumps form.
  • Gather the dought into a ball. Divide it into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a 3-inch round. Transfer the rounds to a baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits until a tester inserted into the centre comes out dry (about 20 minutes) - the biscuits will be pale. Transfer the biscuits to a rack and cool until they are lukewarm. (The biscuits can be prepared 6 hours ahead; cool, wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and store at room temperature; before serving, reheat the biscuits in a 350 F oven for 5 minutes).
  • Strawberry Filling: Combine the strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and raspberry preserves in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Let the strawberries stand for about one hour until a syrup forms, tossing occasionally.
  • Whipped Cream: Beat the chilled whipping cream, vanilla extract, and remaining 3 tbsp of sugar in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. (The whipped cream can be made 6 hours ahead; cover separately and chill).
  • Assemble: Cut the buttermilk biscuits in half. Place each biscuit bottom in a shallow bowl. Top each generously with strawberries and whipped cream. Cover the fruit and cream with the biscuit tops. Dust the biscuits with powdered sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy strawberries: This will ensure that your shortcake has the best flavor.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk: Buttermilk gives the shortcake a slightly tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the shortcake tough.
  • Cook the shortcake in a hot skillet: This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Serve the shortcake warm with whipped cream or ice cream: This is the best way to enjoy this classic dessert.

Conclusion:

Strawberry buttermilk skillet shortcake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
