Ingredients
You are going to need:
32 oz strawberries
1 c heavy whipping cream
2 3/4 c all purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
8 oz sour cream
1/2 c sugar
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 c sugar
3/4 c cold butter
2 large eggs
First Things First
Wash your strawberries off, cut the tops off, then slice them.
Grab a Large Bowl
Mix the strawberries and 1/2 c sugar in a large bowl. Cover and set aside.
Grab That Trusty Mixer
Beat the whipping cream on medium speed until foamy.
Gradually add in the 2 tbsp of sugar until you have soft peaks form.
Place in the refrigerator.
Don't touch this or your strawberries for about two hours.
Hungry Yet?
After the two hours are up, grab another bowl.
Combine the flour, 1/4 c sugar and baking powder together.
Now, blend in the cold butter using a pastry blender, two knives or your hands..just get it mixed in.
Last Bowl to Dirty, I Promise!
Lightly beat the eggs, then add the vanilla and sour cream.
Grab a Spoon
Combine the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring them together with a spoon.
Up to Measure?
Spray a 1/3 measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray.
Fill the measuring cup with the dough, then remove the dough and form into a ball, placing on a baking sheet.
Bake!
Bake in an oven that's been preheated to 450° for about 12 minutes, or until they are golden.
Can Hardly Wait...
Remove from the oven, cut the shortcake in half, top with the strawberries and cream.
Enjoy!
