BETH’S NO-FUSS STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES
Serves 6
FOR SHORTCAKES:
1 1/4 cups (150 g) flour
2 tablespoon (25 g) white sugar
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
1 tbsp (15 ml) baking powder
8 tablespoons (120 g) cold butter, diced into cubes
2/3 cup (160 ml) heavy cream
1 egg
Raw, turbinado sugar for tops
FOR STRAWBERRIES:
2 ½ cups (375g) fresh strawberries, quartered
2 tsp sugar
WHIPPED CREAM:
2 cups heavy cream
2 tbsp (13 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
In a large bowl add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and whisk until combined. Then add butter working it into the flour with your hands, creating a coarse meal.
In a smaller bowl whisk together the egg and the cream until combined.
Make a small well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour cream mixture into the well and work dough together with a fork until combined. Do not over mix. Allow dough to rest 5 mins to activate baking powder.
Scoop out dough with an ice cream scooper placing 6 mounds on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Top each mound with a sprinkle of Turbinado sugar (or plain white sugar)
Bake for 12-13 mins until golden brown and set.
Meanwhile toss the strawberries together with the sugar. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
To make cream place all ingredients in a bowl fitted with an electric mixer whip until soft peaks form.
To assemble. Slice the top 1/3 of shortcake off, set aside. Lay a layer of whipped cream on the base of the short cake, top with a scoop of strawberries, then place top of shortcake on top, Garnish with another small dollop of cream, and a sprig of mint of another whole strawberry.

Please teach us how to make a Lemon Meringue Pie!! I made once and the meringue started "weeping" after baking… I'd like to know how you make and what kind of advice you might give us.
You always blow me away Beth
is it ok if I use whipping cream?
Note to self: never bake when hungry. Lol I skipped the "wait for the dough to rise" part….dunno how things will turn out! 😉
I just saw this! In Japan, we use spongecake instead on biscuits. It actually tastes pretty good!
omg i love your videos im only 17 with very little baking/cooking knowledge but your recipes help sooo much 🙂
I went strawberry picking today with my family and decided to make these. The dough turned out a little runny though so we shall see!
So, is this basically a scone with cream and strawberries? Or is it different to a scone?
Did it for Eid celerstion today!
Was amazing and easy❤️
Can you freeze this batter? 🙂
beth…I'm embarrased to admit this because you said it's your easiest recipe…and I'm not a newbie cook…I'm a mom of 3 and love to cook and bake. but I've now made this recipe twice and both times my biscuits looked like pancakes! I used the full tablespoon of baking powder and I let it rest at least 5 minutes to let it activate with the wet ingredients. I thought the 2nd time would be different but it wasn't. I've followed the recipe to a twice now. 🙁 how do yours puff up? I don't know what I could be doing wrong unless perhaps my baking powder is expired? do you find baking powder to go "bad"? I've had it opened a good year or so. it's clabber girl.
I'm going to cook this I'm so excited 😍😍
Looks delicious ! Excited to try out .
This looks so delicious. I have to join your website. Growing your own ingredients and cooking with them inspires me. Can't wait to try your recipes Beth.
Beth where I live we do not have heavy cream. Can I replace with whipping cream?
Just made this. And it's a very interesting recipe. The right amount of sweetness. I did everything she said except I didn't have a ice cream scoop so I had to spoon it out. And they spread and running in to each other. Other than that they were delicious !!!! Very delicate
Because I hate failure I tried just now again. Perfect!!!!
Hi Beth! I make this amazing shortcake all the time! It's always super delicious and beatiful. Everything you make is such a showstopper! thank you oh so much! :0)'
Hi Beth! I make this amazing shortcake all the time! it's always super delicious and beautiful. Everything you make is such a showstopper! thank you so much! :0)
hey Beth, im confused between shortcake and honey butter biscuit. what is the difference?
This looks incredible! If I wanted to make less, does it work if I half the recipe for the shortcake portion?
hi Beth..I love your style and enjoy your videos..I am one happy subscriber..😃😍 am improving each time. these are absolutely delicious. Iv made them for mum and her friends and they loved them..Beth. could you make an easy moist chocolate cake.kid friendly.
Can I use milk instead if heavy cream in the dough??
Can we make some strawberry sauce to go with it
I TRIED TO MAKE THESE AND FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS. I EVEN BOUGHT NEW BAKING POWDER. THEY CAME OUT FLAT. I'M WONDERING WHY THEY DIDN'T RISE. THEY TASTED REALLY GOOD, JUST FLAT. I PUT THE BERRIES AND CREAM ON TOP AND PRETENDED THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FLAT. WHAT WENT WRONG?
Question i made these and i put the oven at 400 and they pretty much melted and didnt cook just got super brown what did i do wrong
Hi Beth! I know this video has been out for a while, but I wanted to know how to store the whip cream and for long I can keep it in the fridge. I just made this recipe today and it was delicious. Thank you!
ohh now i want to try them tomorow for breakfast.yumy
The amount of flour doesn't seems right. I tried and my batter become too wet😢
I just made theses and they were delicious! Although, I do have a tip. If you want a shortcake more like the one from the Cheesecake Factory, I recommend adding more sugar and less salt and vanilla ice cream just because the shortcakes were a lot saltier than theirs. I found myself having to add many scoops of ice cream and whipped cream just to over power the salt. Also, I got a little lazy and just used the store bought whipped cream which still tasted amazing! Anyways, I really liked this recipe overall and definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for this video and recipe.
Hi Beth, can we prep the batter and put in the fridge for a few hours?
Thank you I enjoy your videos.
Do you have to to preheat the oven?
Beth I adore you 😘
I have a 5 month old baby you’ve been with me through pregnancy, and now I’m baking while he sleeps . You brighten up the world
My short cakes became liquid in the oven could that be because I over mixed?
Tasted great. However, mine is flatten, not enough height to cut to half.
Seems v delicious! However, we live n d Phl so d heavy cream s vcostly! Can u suggest an alternative reasonably priced/practical cream/milk for us to use? Tyvm.
Made this last night! It was sooo delicious & easy to prepare! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this amazing recipe .. To anyone wondering about this one… I recommend it highly .. : ]
This is amazing I just tried it and it’s is absolutely perfect!!!
Hello Beth! I was just wondering if there was a way to make the whip cream sweeter? I wasn't sure if adding more powdered sugar or trying to add granulated sugar would disturb it in any way
