Why Choose This Recipe

  • A delicious way to use fresh berries!
  • Quick and easy!
  • Simple but elegant dessert using these Sweet Baked Scones!

Ingredient Notes

  • Flour - all-purpose, never self-rising.
  • Strawberries - like my Berry Crepes or Strawberry Croissant French Toast, you can really use any berry you choose.
Ingredients for strawberry shortcake.

Step by Step Instructions

  • Preheat the oven and line some cookie sheets with parchment or spray them with non-stick cooking spray.  If you have parchment, it is really the way to go for these.  
  • Measure the flour, sugar, and baking powder into the base of a food processor.
  • Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Dump the crumbly mixture into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the whipping cream, egg, and vanilla.
  • Mix just until the dough comes together.
Add cream, vanilla, and egg. Mix.
  • Dump dough out onto a very lightly floured surface.
  • Pat the dough out to a little less than an inch thick.
  • Using a 2 ยฝ-inch biscuit cutter, cut out shortcake biscuit rounds, being sure to push the cutter straight down without twisting. Twisting will seal the layers, and the biscuits won't puff up correctly.
  • Place the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheets.
Pat out and cut out shortcake biscuits.  Place on a pan.
  • Brush the remaining cream over the tops of the shortcake biscuits with a pastry brush.
  • Sprinkle generously with sugar.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
  • Tops should be golden brown.
  • Cool before proceeding.
Brush tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Measure 2 cups of heavy cream into a deep bowl or 4 cup measuring cup.
  • Add the vanilla and powdered sugar.
  • Beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Wash and slice your strawberries.
  • Slice each shortcake biscuit in half and top with sliced berries.
  • Dollop whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
  • Place the top of the shortcake biscuit on top.
  • Dollop more whipped cream and sprinkle with more strawberries.
  • Serve!

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

What can I serve with these?

You can never go wrong with some Orange Julius!ย  Omelets also make a delicious choice.ย  Check out these Gorgonzola Veggie Omelets!ย  Or perhaps a Bacon Mushroom Omelet with Cheese!ย  This Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole would also go great with these!

How do I avoid flat shortcake biscuits?

When cutting out the dough, be sure to press the biscuit cutter straight down without twisting. Twisting the cutter seals the edges and stops them from rising when baked.

    This recipe is excellent! If rolled a little thinner and cut into fun shapes, they will also be your favorite shortbread biscuits.
