Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add in 1.5 cups of heavy cream and stir with a rubber spatula just until combined.
Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to portion out the dough and drop onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
Gently press the top of each dough portion with the bottom of a glass to form round biscuit shapes.
Sprinkle the top of each biscuit with ½ teaspoon of granulated sugar.
Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Chop the strawberries into small pieces and combine with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl.
In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Slice a biscuit in half, layer with strawberries and whipped cream, then top with the other half and more strawberries and whipped cream.
Notes
This strawberry shortcake is best served fresh and enjoyed on warm sunny days. You can substitute biscuits with sponge cake if preferred.
