Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 medium Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, gently knead it, and pat it into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Use a round cutter to cut out circles of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the shortcakes in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Set them aside to cool completely.
While the shortcakes are baking, wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them along with the bananas and place the fruit in a bowl. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and gently toss to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to release the juices.
To assemble the shortcakes, slice each cooled shortcake horizontally in half. Spoon a generous amount of the strawberry and banana mixture over the bottom half, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Place the top half of the shortcake back on, and add another small dollop of whipped cream and extra fruit on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Shortcake with Strawberries and Banana!
