THE BEST CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



The Best Classic Strawberry Shortcake image

For our simple and iconic shortcake, we discovered a great double-stacking technique that creates super light and high biscuits that are easy to split. This makes them easy to fill without crumbling. A simple recipe like this one allows its ingredients to shine, so use the very best berries you can find.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes and frozen
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pour in the chilled heavy cream mixture and pulse until just combined.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut out as many biscuits as you can with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Then pat the remaining dough out to 1/2-inch thick again. Cut more biscuits; you should get 12.
  • Put 6 of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with cream, then top each cream-brushed biscuit with one of the remaining biscuit rounds. (This makes it easier to split once they are baked.) Brush the top of each biscuit stack with more heavy cream and sprinkle 1 teaspoon granulated sugar on each biscuit.
  • Bake the biscuits until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, for the topping: Toss the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Split the shortcakes in half. Spoon half the cream on the bottom of the biscuits, top evenly with the strawberries and top with the remaining cream. Put each biscuit top on and serve.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE WITH LEMON-PEPPER SYRUP



Strawberry Shortcake with Lemon-Pepper Syrup image

Here's a take on the perfect summer birthday cake: a buttery, vanilla-scented spongecake doused with ripe strawberries and fresh whipped cream, gilded with a spicy-tart syrup to cut the sweetness. After the cake cools, you'll cut it into two layers and put them back together with the sliced strawberries, which have been resting in some sugar and lemon zest, your whipped cream and the lemon-pepper syrup. Then top the whole thing with more whipped cream and serve it up. It's a couple of hours of your time, resulting in a treat appropriate to welcome anyone's next trip around the sun.

Time 1h30m

Yield One 9-inch cake (8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, more for greasing pan
2 quarts strawberries (about 2 pounds)
25 grams superfine sugar (about 2 tablespoons)
1 lemon, zested
155 grams all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
4 grams baking powder (about 1 1/4 teaspoons)
3 grams salt (about 1/2 teaspoon)
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
330 grams granulated sugar (about 1 3/4 cups)
1/3 cup whole milk, warmed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray. Line with baking paper and grease the parchment.
  • Cut off tops of strawberries and thinly slice half of them, leaving remaining berries whole. Mix sliced strawberries with superfine sugar and half the lemon zest. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip eggs and egg white on high speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. Gradually pour in 230 grams (1 1/4 cups) granulated sugar and whip on high speed until mixture is a pale yellow color and has thickened enough to mound onto itself when beater is lifted, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently and patiently fold flour mixture into egg mixture. Fold in milk, vanilla and butter until completely combined.
  • Gently pour batter into prepared pan and bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in pan. Invert cake onto a cooling rack and peel off baking paper. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, in a small pot, whisk together remaining 100 grams ( 1/2 cup) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water and the pepper. Simmer on medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining lemon zest.
  • Whip heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • Using a serrated knife, horizontally slice cake in half. Generously brush each cut side with lemon-pepper syrup. Transfer the bottom half to a cake plate, cut side up, and spoon sliced strawberries and any juices over it. Spread half the whipped cream over sliced strawberries and gently place the other cake half on top. Spread remaining whipped cream over top and sides of cake (or mound it all on the top). Garnish with whole strawberries and drizzle with more lemon-pepper syrup for serving.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



Strawberry Shortcake image

There's a kind of magic in a summer recipe that you can make wherever you are, provided that wherever you are has, say, flour, butter, an oven and whatever fruit is most glorious is at that very moment. This is one such recipe, so simple that you can decide that you're having shortcake for dessert and make it so within the hour, and so satisfying that it may become your go-to for summer, the recipe you keep in your back pocket. Strawberries are the classic choice, but this would also be heavenly in high summer with very ripe peaches or any other juicy, macerated fruit.

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 4 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pints ripe, well-rinsed strawberries
1/2 cup sugar, or more to taste
4 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups butter
3 cups whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Pick over and hull strawberries. Cut in half or slice, depending on size. Gently crush about a quarter of the berries with a fork to release their juices. Mix with remaining berries and the 1/2 cup of sugar, adding more sugar if necessary. Set aside, covered, for about half an hour to develop flavor.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Into a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and baking powder. Add 3/4 cup of softened butter, and rub into dry ingredients as for pastry. Add 1 1/4 cups cream, and mix to a soft dough. Knead the dough for one minute on a lightly floured pastry board, then roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut an even number of rounds - 2 rounds per serving.
  • Use a little of the butter to grease a baking sheet. Place half the rounds on it. Melt remaining butter and brush a little on the rounds; place remaining rounds on top. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, and pull shortcakes apart. Brush the insides with some of the remaining melted butter.
  • Beat remaining cream until it thickens. Add vanilla. Beat again just until thick.
  • Place a bottom half of a shortcake on each plate. Top with a generous spoonful of berries. Cover with a top half, add a few more berries, and top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the lemon-pepper syrup while the shortcakes are baking.
  • To assemble the strawberry shortcakes, split the shortcakes in half and top with strawberries and whipped cream. Drizzle with lemon-pepper syrup and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This strawberry shortcake with lemon-pepper syrup is a delicious and refreshing summertime dessert. The shortcakes are light and fluffy, the strawberries are sweet and juicy, and the lemon-pepper syrup adds a unique and flavorful twist. This dessert is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
