Ingredients 

Shortcake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ⅔ cup milk

Strawberries

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup sugar

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
