THE ORIGINAL BISQUICK® STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES



The Original Bisquick® Strawberry Shortcakes image

The original Old Fashioned Shortcake recipe appeared on the first Bisquick® box in 1931. It's said that an advertising slogan promised - "Here's the Kind of Strawberry Shortcake Your Husband Will Rave About." Shortcakes are the sweet cousin of the dinner bisquit, and these easy-to-prepare treats have stood the test of time in my family. It started with my mom who made her Bisquick® strawberry shortcakes with her garden grown strawberries and REAL homemade whipping cream. Some thirty years later my sistes and I are still baking up these sweet treats.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups strawberries, stems removed and sliced
2/3 cup white sugar
2 1/3 cups original Bisquick baking mix
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted

  • Heat oven to 425°F
  • In another medium bowl, stir Bisquick® mix, milk, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter until a soft dough forms.
  • Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls into 6 mounds onto ungreased cookie sheet; dust with sugar.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, in a chilled small bowl whip the cream, adding a drop or two of vanilla and a teaspoon of sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Serve one of two ways:.
  • 1. Split warm shortcakes; fill and top with strawberries and whipped cream, or
  • 2. Break up one biscuit per person into big pieces into a dessert bowl. Ladle strawberries over the biscuit; add a dolop of whipped cream.
  • COOK'S TIP: Alternatives to strawberries could include raspberries, blueberries & peaches, and my favorite, apricots & honey (Soak dried apricots in warm water for 1 hour; chop fine. Gently toss apricots with honey and let stand awhile to blend flavors. Serve over shortcakes.).

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES



Chocolate Strawberry Shortcakes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 shortcakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 ounces milk chocolate, roughly chopped
2 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raw or turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
1 quart strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered if large (about 3 cups) if large
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make the shortcakes: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until sandy. Add the chocolate. Whisk 1 egg, the cream and vanilla in a glass measuring cup; stir into the flour mixture with a fork to make a shaggy dough (there will be some dry bits). Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; pat flat until 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into 6 rounds with a knife or cookie cutter, using the scraps for the last cake.
  • Place the rounds on the baking sheet; freeze for 20 minutes. Beat the remaining egg; brush onto the cakes and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake until firm, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the toppings: Toss half of the strawberries with half of the sugar in a bowl; set aside. Place the other half of each in a saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, mashing with a fork to make a thick puree, about 10 minutes. Cool completely. Whip the cream with a mixer until medium peaks form; swirl in the strawberry puree.
  • Split the shortcakes in half. Layer some of the strawberry cream and reserved fruit on the bottoms; cover with the shortcake tops. Finish with more strawberry cream and the remaining berries.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY SHORTCAKES



Strawberry-Raspberry Shortcakes image

Shortcakes remind me of the ice cream socials we used to have in my small town when I was growing up. We always had strawberry shortcakes, but now I throw raspberries into my version to make them a little bit fancier and a lot more fun. I also make them free-form-by not using a biscuit cutter, I get cakes that look craggy and knobby, kind of like little toads. But they have a beautiful crumbly texture and act like sponges for the fruit juice without getting soggy. These are SOOOOO delicious that I can hoover a few of them in one sitting!

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     dessert

Time 57m

Yield Serves: 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint strawberries, topped and quartered
1 pint raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
6 fresh mint leaves, cut into a chiffonade (see page 58)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pea-size pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream, taken out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving

Steps:

  • For the fruit: In a large bowl, toss together the strawberries, raspberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the fruit to release some of its juice.
  • For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a food processor, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to combine. Toss in the butter, heavy cream, and vanilla and pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture comes together to form a rough ball; it should look fairly crumbly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. With lightly floured hands, form the dough into craggy-looking balls, a bit larger than golf balls. They should look a little like toads and DEFINITELY not be perfect. Place the balls on the baking sheet and squish each ball to flatten it some; sprinkle the balls with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
  • Put the cakes in the oven and bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  • To assemble: Toss the mint with the fruit and stir to combine. Cut the shortcakes in half equatorially, place the bottom halves on individual plates, and divide the fruit and juice among them. Place a scoop of ice cream on top of the fruit, replace the tops, and serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY AND BASIL-CORNMEAL SHORTCAKES WITH VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM



Strawberry and Basil-Cornmeal Shortcakes With Vanilla Whipped Cream image

These strawberry shortcakes have a touch of fresh basil and some cornmeal to the shortcake for texture. Or make them with blueberries and coriander.

Provided by Irvin Lin

Categories     Summer     Bake     Dessert     Berry     Strawberry     Blueberry     Cornmeal     Basil     Coriander     Vegetarian     Tree Nut Free     Soy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Strawberry Filling
4 cups (1 pound or 455 g) strawberries, green tops cut off
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Whipped Cream
½ vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Basil-Cornmeal Shortcakes
1¼ cups (175 g) all-purpose flour
⅓ cup (50 g) yellow cornmeal
4 tablespoons (50 g) granulated sugar, divided
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
4 tablespoons (57 g or ½ stick) unsalted butter
1 large egg, separated
½ cup (115 g) plain Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon water
To Assemble
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Make the Strawberry Filling:
  • Place about one-third of the strawberries in a medium nonreactive (glass or ceramic) bowl and crush them with a fork or potato masher. Add the remaining strawberries to the bowl and tear them up with your fingers into bite-size pieces, making sure any juice falls into the bowl. Sprinkle the sugar, basil, and vinegar over the strawberries and toss to coat. Let sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours before using.
  • Make the Whipped Cream:
  • Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, if using, and scrape the seeds into the heavy cream in the measuring cup. (Or add the vanilla extract.) Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the empty vanilla bean, cover with plastic wrap, and let steep in the refrigerator while you make the shortcakes.
  • Make the Basil-Cornmeal Shortcakes:
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Combine the flour, cornmeal, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and basil in a large bowl. Cut the butter into ½-inch chunks, sprinkle over the flour, and toss to coat. Using your fingers, flatten the cubes of butter and then rub and squeeze the butter and flour together until the butter is broken into small pieces, about the size of peas.
  • Set aside the egg white in a small bowl. Combine the egg yolk and the yogurt in a small bowl and beat together until the yolk is incorporated into the yogurt. Scrape the yogurt into the dry ingredients and toss first with a fork, then your hands, until a dough forms. It might seem dry at first, but keep tossing together and a dough will form. Divide the dough into 4 balls and place on the lined baking sheet, pressing down slightly to form disks. Add the water to the egg white and beat until frothy. Brush the top of each shortcake with a light coating of the egg white wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then carefully move to a wire rack.
  • While the shortcakes are cooling, finish the whipped cream. Remove the vanilla pod from the cream and transfer the cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on high speed until soft peaks form.
  • Assemble the Shortcakes:
  • Use a serrated knife to split the shortcakes in half. Spoon the whipped cream onto the bottom of each shortcake, add some strawberries, sprinkle with a little basil, add another dollop of whipped cream, and replace the top of each shortcake. Serve immediately.
  • Tearing Strawberries:
  • It sounds odd, but tearing the strawberries by hand in this recipe actually serves a purpose. If you slice the strawberries, the fruit tends to slip and slide off the whipped cream. However, if you tear the fruit with your fingers, the jagged edges of the fruit have nooks and crannies that help capture the whipped cream. It also helps bruise the fruit so that a little more juice is released for the shortcake. So get your hands dirty and start tearing away!
  • VARIATION: Blueberry and Coriander Shortcakes With Lemon-Scented Whipped Cream
  • Make the blueberry filling by combining 4 cups (680 g) fresh blueberries (don't use frozen), 1⁄2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the juices start to boil and a few of the berries start to pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature or refrigerate overnight.
  • For the shortcakes, first toast 4 teaspoons coriander seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Remove and let cool, then crush with a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Increase the all-purpose flour to 1 1⁄2 cups (210 g) and omit the cornmeal, and substitute 2 teaspoons of the crushed toasted coriander for the basil. Sprinkle 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed coriander over each shortcake with the sugar before baking. Make the whipped cream as directed, then fold in 1 tablespoon lemon zest or 2 teaspoons lemon extract. Sprinkle the remaining coriander over the blueberries when assembling in place of the basil.

  • Transfer batter to baking pan, spreading evenly, and bake in middle of oven until pale golden and a tester comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool cake completely in pan on a rack (cake will shrink from sides of pan). When cool, run a sharp knife around side of cake if necessary and invert onto rack, then remove paper.
  • Make strawberries in syrup:
  • Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with tip of sharp knife into a small saucepan, then add pod. Add sugar, water, zest, and juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and boil 1 minute.
  • Transfer to a bowl and chill 30 minutes. Pour syrup through a fine sieve into another bowl and discard solids. Gently stir in strawberries and let stand 15 minutes.
  • Make cream:
  • Beat together cream, sugar, and sour cream until mixture just holds stiff peaks.
  • Assemble shortcakes:
  • Cut 4 rounds from cake with cookie cutter.
  • Generously brush both sides of each round with syrup from strawberry mixture and arrange, darker sides up, on plates. Spoon strawberries onto rounds and let stand 5 minutes to allow more syrup to soak into cake. Top rounds with dollops of cream and drizzle with remaining syrup.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES FOR 2 (AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN)



Strawberry Shortcakes for 2 (America's Test Kitchen) image

Since there are only two of us in the house (well only 2 humans), I don't like to make desserts because there's SO MUCH. So when I came across this recipe I had to try it. It was delicious and the portions were just perfect for us. From Cooking For Two 2009, America's Test Kitchen

Provided by Twiggyann

Categories     Dessert

Time 32m

Yield 2 shortcakes, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 large egg, room temperature
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
5 teaspoons sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortcakes, use first 8 ingredients: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the middle position. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, mix the flour, 5 teaspoons of sugar, the baking powder, and salt until combined (about 3 pulses) then add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal (about 15 pulses).
  • Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Whisk the half-and-half and the whole egg together then mix into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until large clumps form. The recipe indicates that using regular milk is ok but not as rich as the half-and-half and that using heavy cream makes the cakes too dense.
  • Turn the mixture onto a floured board and shape the dough into two circles about 2-1/2 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick.
  • Brush the tops with the egg white. Then sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  • Place on prepared cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning the pan halfway through cooking.
  • Cool on wire wrack.
  • For the fruit use the next 2 ingredients: Crush 3/4 cup (about 3.75 ounces) of the strawberries with a potato masher in a medium bowl. Slice the remaining strawberries and fold them into the crushed berries, along with the sugar. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • For the whipped cream use the last 3 ingredients:.
  • Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium spead until frothy -- about 1 minute. Then turn to high and whip to soft peaks, 1-3 minutes. Of course, store bought whipped cream will work, too.
  • To serve: Slice the shortcake horizontally. Place some of the strawberries on the bottom half, put a dollop or two of whipped cream on the strawberries and top with the other half of the short cake.

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ½ cups self-rising flour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 ¼ cups chilled butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
3 ½ cups whipped cream
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or to taste
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups whipped cream, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sift the self-rising flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the cold butter pieces, and chop the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and whipped cream together, and pour into the bowl containing the flour mixture; add milk and vanilla extract. Stir to make a dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes; allow the cake to cool completely. With a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 16 hearts from the cake. It helps to wiggle the cutter slightly while cutting. Remove cut-outs carefully to avoid breaking.
  • Mix strawberries with 3 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl; place a shortcake heart on a plate, and top with sweetened strawberries, then spoon about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream on the berries. Top with another heart-shaped shortcake and serve.

INDIVIDUAL STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES BY PAULA DEEN



Individual Strawberry Shortcakes by Paula Deen image

Saw Paula make these on tv yesterday and it looked super good! These are considered a sweet biscuit because the tops are sprinkled with sugar before baking.

Provided by Marie

Categories     Dessert

Time 37m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 quart strawberry, hulled and quartered
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons butter, cold and cubed
2/3 cup half-and-half, plus
1/4 cup half-and-half
8 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, toss the strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar together.
  • Set aside until time to serve.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Then pulse in the cold butter cubes until a coarse meal is formed.
  • Turn the flour mixture out into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center.
  • Pour in 2/3 cup half-and-half and gently mix it in with a rubber spatula or fork - be careful not to over mix the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a couple of times until it just holds together.
  • Pat the dough out to 3/4" thickness and cut out 8 round 3" biscuits.
  • Transfer the biscuits to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of each biscuit with the remaining half and half and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon sugar.
  • Bake in a preheated 400° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are a light golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Split each biscuit, spoon some strawberries on the bottom piece, then whipped cream and top with the other biscuit half.
  • Garnish with more strawberries.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • To make sure your shortcakes are light and fluffy, be sure to use cold butter and milk. You can also freeze the butter for 30 minutes before grating it, which will help to keep the shortcakes from becoming too dense.
  • 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. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the shortcakes tough.
  • Bake the shortcakes until they are just golden brown. If you overbake them, they will become dry.
  • Serve the shortcakes warm with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give strawberry shortcake a try. You won't be disappointed!
