Description
Aside from this biscuit recipe, a strawberry shortcake should be a fun, easy dessert that goes beyond a written recipe and is easily customized to your own personal taste and preferences.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 c all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter, cold
- 1/2 c buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pinch sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
- Add butter to flour mixture and break the butter apart by hand until it the size of hazelnuts.
- Add the buttermilk and mix until it is just combined. It is okay, and preferable, to still see pieces of butter in the mixture.
- Roll out the dough and cut to desired size using a round cookie-cutter (or any shape you prefer). Place on a cooking sheet and bake until golden.
Notes
The serving size of this recipe will vary depending on how large you cut your biscuits. I prefer using a miniature cookie cutter, in which case this recipe can serve up to 12 people.
If you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can use your knife to cut attractive squares, rather than rounds.
