Delicious Strawberry Shortcakes with feather-light and slightly lemony little biscuit cakes piled high with homemade whipped cream and farm-fresh strawberries. Oh. my.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2/3 cups cold butter (chopped into small cubes)
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cups milk
- zest of 1 lemon
Directions
|
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter until completely incorporated and mixture looks like small crumbs. Set mixture aside. |
|
| Add eggs to a separate bowl and whisk. Add milk and lemon and whisk once more. Pour into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir, just until moistened. | |
 |
Dump dough out onto a heavily floured surface and gently work into a rectangle, 1″ thick. (This will be messy, but be patient and it will come together). Using a biscuit cutter, cut into individual biscuits. Place biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. |
 |
The center of the biscuits will appear slightly separated. |
 |
And once they’re cooled, you can easily split them apart. |
|
Layer shortcakes with homemade whipped cream and strawberries. (If they’re tiny berries like mine were, you can leave them whole. If they’re large berries, slice before serving.) And for a final sweet touch, dust with powdered sugar. (This recipe makes about 12-13 standard-size biscuit shortcakes). |

IT'S ME, SERENA!
In 2002, I was dreaming of creating a fun and happy little event to sell my vintage and handmade goods. In 2002, I held my first event in my neighbor's barn along with a handful of friends. The sale became wildly popular and began attracting visitors from across the country and recognition in national magazines. Today The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair fills the Spokane County Fairgrounds and features hundreds of creatively and carefully curated spaces packed with vintage and handmade goods. Many describe it as a bucket list event, magical, inspirational, and the best event of its kind in the USA. I describe it as the best weekend of the year!
