A classic biscuit-style strawberry shortcake with a yogurt honey twist to the whipped cream.
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
Strawberries and Biscuits
- 2 pkg (16 oz.) strawberries, tops removed and sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted cold butter
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Yogurt Whipped Cream
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ tsp vanilla
Directions:
- Stir strawberries and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425 °F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut butter into flour mixture using a butter knife, then gently mix with fingers to resemble coarse crumbs.
- Add milk. Mix with a fork until combine. Don’t over-work the dough.
- Transfer biscuit dough to a well-floured surface or leave in the bowl. Use hands to gently work the dough together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Dough should be soft, but not sticky, fold dough in half and gently flatten layers together. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and fold in half again, repeat 5-6 times.
- Divide the dough into 6 balls. Use your hands (not a rolling pin) to flatten the dough one-inch thick.
- Using a 2 ¾-inch round biscuit cutter, make one cut for each flattened ball. Drop the biscuit onto your prepared baking sheet of parchment paper.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the tops begin to turn golden brown.
- Make the Yogurt Whipped Cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat the yogurt, heavy cream, honey and vanilla on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
- To assemble: slice the biscuits, fill with strawberries, and top with yogurt whipped cream. Serve.
Tip: Yogurt Whipped Cream can be made the day before. Keep refrigerated.
