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.

BUTTERMILK-BISCUIT SHORTCAKES WITH STRAWBERRIES



Buttermilk-Biscuit Shortcakes With Strawberries image

Making biscuits is a combination of technique, faith and magic. You pull the dough together with your hands, pass through a stage where only a belief in the baking gods keeps you from ditching the mess and then, presto chango, the dough smoothes, and the oven's heat makes them rise tall and beautiful. These biscuits are sweeter than most, because they're meant to be shortcakes topped with berries and cream. (For a savory biscuit, use just 1 teaspoon sugar and omit the citrus zest, if you'd like.) Although they're best soon after they've come from the oven, here's a baker's trick that makes biscuits a convenience food: Freeze the cut-out dough. When you're ready to bake, let the pucks sit out to warm a bit while you preheat the oven; give them an extra minute or two of baking time if you think they need it.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 hibiscus tea bag (like Red Zinger)
1/3 cup (80 ml.) boiling water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 fat strip orange, lemon or lime zest
1 pound (about 25) strawberries, hulled and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 orange, lemon or lime
2 cups (272 grams) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons (85 grams) very cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
1 pound (about 25) strawberries, hulled and halved from top to bottom
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup (240 ml.) heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the saucy berries: Steep the tea bag in boiling water for 5 minutes; pour the tea into a medium pot. Mix in the sugar, zest and berries, and cook, stirring, until the syrup bubbles exuberantly and the berries soften, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a bowl, discard zest and let cool while you make the biscuits.
  • Make the biscuits: Heat the oven to 400, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the sugar and zest in a large bowl, and rub them between your fingertips until the sugar is moist and aromatic. Add the dry ingredients, and stir with a fork to blend. Drop in the butter, toss it around with your fingers until it's coated with flour and then press and pinch until you've got pea-size pieces of butter and flakes like oatmeal. Make a well in the center, pour in the cold buttermilk and turn and stir with a fork until the dough forms moist curds and clumps. Some dry crumbs may remain in the bottom of the bowl - don't fuss with them now. Reach in with your hands, and knead gently, folding the dough on itself about 8 times, until it forms a ball.
  • Dust the counter lightly with flour, turn out the dough, dust the top and roll to a scant 1/2-inch thick. (Size and shape don't matter.) Using a 2-to-2 1/2-inch biscuit or other cutter, cut rounds as close to one another as possible. Cut in a quick up-and-down movement - if you twist the cutter, you'll impede the biscuits' rise and their flakiness. Arrange 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gather the scraps together, reroll and cut more biscuits, knowing that these scrappers may not rise as high as those in the first round.
  • Bake the biscuits for 16-18 minutes, or until they're tall and golden; transfer to a cooling rack. Use the biscuits when they're warm or at room temperature.
  • Make the topping: Toss the berries and sugar together; leave on the counter, stirring now and then, while you whip the cream. Using a mixer, beat the cream just until it begins to thicken, then whip in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Don't overbeat - soft cream is good here.
  • To assemble: Pull apart each biscuit along a natural flake line, and place the bottoms on plates. Top each with a spoonful of saucy berries, cream and then sugared berries. Decide what to do with the other half of each biscuit: Lean it up against the shortcake; place it at a jaunty angle on top of each shortcake; make another shortcake with it; or tuck it away to toast in the morning.

STRAWBERRY BALSAMIC SHORTCAKES



Strawberry Balsamic Shortcakes image

This is my tangy updo to the sinfully sweet strawberry shortcake.

Provided by Jerrelle Guy

Categories     Dessert     Summer     Juneteenth     Strawberry     Biscuit     Milk/Cream     Olive Oil     Pastry     Bake     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Dairy Free

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

Strawberries:
2 cups (400 g) hulled and coined strawberries
2 tbsp (24 g) pure cane sugar
Olive Oil Biscuits:
3 cups (360 g) whole wheat pastry flour, plus more for dusting
4 tsp (10 g) baking powder
3 tbsp (36 g) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
½ cup (120 ml) olive oil
½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Raw sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Balsamic Glaze:
½ cup (120 ml) balsamic vinegar
¼ cup (60 ml) agave or honey
Whipped Cream Topping:
1 cup (235 ml) cold heavy cream
3 tbsp (45 ml) honey or agave
Mint or basil for topping

Steps:

  • To make the strawberries, toss the coined berries and cane sugar together in a bowl. Let them sit for about 20 minutes, or until they start to break down and liquefy.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C or gas mark 8) and have a sheet pan lined with parchment nearby.
  • To make the biscuits, in a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar and salt. Drizzle over the olive oil, and gently toss with your hands until droplets of oil are dispersed evenly throughout the flour. Add the buttermilk, stirring gently and compressing with your hands until a shaggy dough is formed. Dump out onto a floured work surface and knead until it comes together into a solid mass. Roll it out into a 1¼-inch (3-cm)-thick disk. Using a 3-inch (7.5-cm) biscuit cutter, punch out 6 biscuits, folding and re-rolling the dough if needed. Place the biscuits on the lined sheet tray, brush with more buttermilk, sprinkle with raw sugar if using, and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until slightly puffed and golden brown. Remove the biscuits and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • To make the balsamic glaze, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by half. Set aside to cool and thicken.
  • To make the whipped cream topping, when you're ready to serve, beat together the cream and honey in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, or in a bowl with an electric mixer, until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Split the cooled biscuits in half and spoon on some of the strawberries along with some of their juices so it soaks into the bottom biscuit. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, followed by a drizzle of the balsamic glaze. Top with the other half of the biscuit, and repeat with more strawberries, more cream, and another drizzle of glaze. Repeat with the rest of the biscuits, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the Buttermilk Biscuits:
  • Use cold butter: This will help create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Don't over-mix the dough: Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the biscuits rise evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help the biscuits rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
  • For the Strawberry Filling:
  • Use fresh strawberries: This will give the filling the best flavor.
  • Slice the strawberries evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • Cook the strawberries until they are slightly softened: You don't want them to be too mushy.
  • For the Whipped Cream:
  • Use heavy cream: This will give the whipped cream a rich and creamy texture.
  • Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks: This will help it hold its shape on the shortcake.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on how sweet you want the whipped cream to be.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake is a delicious and classic summer dessert. This recipe uses buttermilk biscuits, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream to create a light and flavorful treat. With a few simple tips, you can make this dessert at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
