Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake

2 pints of Red Dog Farm strawberries
1 pint of whipping cream
2 cups of flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbs. sugar
1/2 cup of cold butter
2/3 cup of half and half

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Cube the butter and cut into the dry mixture with a pastry blender, knife and fork or by hand. Continue cutting in until the mix is coarse and butter chunks are smaller than a pea. Make a well in the middle, pour in the half and half and mix until it just comes together. Knead the dough a couple of times until it holds itself together (add a dash more flour if needed). On a flat surface, press the dough into a rectangle about ¾” thick. Cut into 3” biscuits. Bake on a lightly greased sheet (top with sugar if you like). Bake for 10-15 minutes until they rise and are lightly golden.

Can serve the biscuits hot or cooled. To prepare, cut the biscuits in half and fill will sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Enjoy!
