How Do I Make a Dreamy Strawberry Shortcake My Easy Recipe

Instructions:

1. Combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Gently stir and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add the cold heavy cream, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix!
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch (2.5cm) thick rectangle. Use a 2.5-inch (6 cm) biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Re-roll scraps gently and cut out more biscuits until all dough is used. Chill the biscuits for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. While the biscuits bake, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat.
8. Let the biscuits cool slightly. Split each biscuit in half. Spoon macerated strawberries and some of the juice over the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and the top half of the biscuit. Serve immediately.
