Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Strawberries (fresh, hulled and sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for strawberries)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cream)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut out shortcakes. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Place the shortcakes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar in a bowl. Toss to coat and let sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
For the Grand Marnier Cream, in a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, Grand Marnier, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
To assemble, split each shortcake in half horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of strawberries and their juices onto the bottom half. Top with a dollop of Grand Marnier Cream and the other shortcake half.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprig of mint if desired.
