Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar, divided
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 pinch kosher salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups strawberry, hulled and thinly sliced, plus 2 cups (300 G), hulled and quartered, divided
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups whipped cream, lightly sweetened
1 cup pound cake, cubed (1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) cubes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread ¾ cup (150 G) of sugar on the baking sheet, then bake for 7 minutes to warm. Remove the sugar from the oven and leave the oven on.
  • In a large clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on low speed until foamy, then add the salt. While beating, add the warm sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, gradually increasing the mixer speed, until thick and shiny peaks form, 5-7 minutes. Add the vanilla and fold in until just incorporated.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Heap 10 equal scoops of meringue onto the baking sheets, spacing at least 1 inch (2 ½ cm) apart. Use the back of a spoon to create a divot in the center of each mound.
  • Bake for about 90 minutes, until the meringues lift cleanly off the parchment. Once done, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool in the oven for 2 hours, up to overnight. When removed from the oven, the meringues should sound hollow when tapped.
  • Meanwhile, make the strawberry puree: In a small saucepan, combine the thinly sliced strawberries, ¼ cup (50 G) sugar, and the lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate, until some of the juices have released.
  • Transfer the pan to the stove and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the strawberries have slightly softened but are still vibrant red. Remove from heat and push through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • To serve, heap ¼ cup (60 ml) whipped cream onto each meringue nest. Top with 1 heaping tablespoon pound cake cubes and 2 tablespoons quartered strawberries. Drizzle each with 2 tablespoons strawberry puree.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons loose-leaf Rooibos tea
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 lb strawberry
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground sumac
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ sticks unsalted european-style butter, frozen
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup turbinado sugar
¼ cup honey

Steps:

  • Steep the cream for the chantilly: In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the heavy cream and Rooibos tea. Transfer to the refrigerator to steep for at least 2 hours, up to overnight
  • While the cream steeps, macerate the strawberries: Use a small paring knife to stem and hull the strawberries, then halve or quarter lengthwise. Transfer to a large glass bowl and add the sugar, sumac, and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon to coat the berries. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, until the berries soften and release their juices, then refrigerate until ready to use, up to overnight
  • Make the biscuits: Line a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet (quarter sheet pan) with parchment paper.
  • In a large glass bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and baking soda.
  • Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the frozen butter directly into the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to gently toss the butter into the flour until coated. Slowly pour the buttermilk into the flour mixture and use a bowl scraper to gently mix until a shaggy mass forms. The dough will still look a little dry.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and use a bench scraper to help press into a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to gently roll the dough into a roughly 8 x 10-inch rectangle. Fold the dough crosswise in thirds, like a letter, then turn the dough 90° and roll out again to a rectangle. Repeat folding and rolling for a total of 4 or 5 folds.
  • Carefully transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes (this will help the dough hydrate and bake evenly).
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Transfer the dough rectangle to a cutting board. Use a large chef's knife to trim the edges to make clean sides, reserving the scraps for another use. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise and in thirds crosswise for 6 square biscuits. Place the biscuits back on the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush the top of each biscuit with the heavy cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
  • Bake the biscuits until risen and golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the top of each biscuit with the honey. (Microwave the honey for 10 seconds for easier brushing, if needed).
  • Make the chantilly cream: Place a fine-mesh strainer over a tall, narrow container. Pour the steeped cream through the strainer into the container and discard the tea leaves.
  • Add the powdered sugar to the strained cream. Blend with a stick blender until stiff peaks form, about 30 seconds.
  • When ready to assemble, split the biscuits in half. Place a bottom half on a plate and spoon the chantilly cream over top. Spoon a generous amount of strawberries and syrup over the cream and finish with the top of the biscuit.
  • Enjoy!

  • Chef's Note: The biscuits are best eaten the same day they are baked. If you don't think you will consume them all in one day, you can cut the dough and bake as many as you'd like, then wrap the remaining unbaked biscuits tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Unbaked biscuit dough should be stored in the freezer; storing in the refrigerator may cause the dough to oxidize and discolor.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE RECIPE BY TASTY



Strawberry Shortcake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: strawberry, granulated sugar, lemon zest, fine sea salt, all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, fine sea salt, unsalted butter, heavy cream, flaky sea salt, whipped cream

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ lb strawberry, cleaned, hulled, and quartered
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups all purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cubed
1 cup heavy cream, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons, divided
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Marinate the strawberries: in a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Set aside to marinate while you make the shortcakes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter and, using your fingers, cut in the butter until pea-sized pieces form and the mixture starts to clump together. Add 1 cup (240 ml) cream and mix just to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to a clean work surface and pat into a ¾-inch-thick (2 cm) rectangle. Cut into 8 squares. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each square with the remaining 1½ tablespoons of heavy cream and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and flaky salt.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the shortcakes are cooked through and golden on top.
  • Cool the shortcakes, then split and serve with the marinated strawberries and whipped cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the perfect meringue nests, whip the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. This means that they should hold their shape when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
  • When baking the meringue nests, keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook. They should be a light golden brown color.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to dollop the meringue mixture onto the baking sheet. Just make sure to space them out evenly.
  • Once the meringue nests are baked, let them cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from seeping into the meringue.
  • For the strawberry filling, use fresh, ripe strawberries. This will give you the best flavor.
  • If you want a sweeter filling, you can add some sugar to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of tartness.
  • Serve the strawberry shortcake meringue nests immediately, while the meringue is still crispy and the filling is cold.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake meringue nests are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and airy, with a sweet and tangy filling. Plus, they're super cute! So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
