Steps of Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

#	Steps
1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3.	Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
4.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5.	Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Flatten the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick.
6.	Using a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
7.	Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown.
8.	While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the strawberry filling. In a medium bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar. Let sit for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries release some of their juices.
9.	In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
10.	To assemble the strawberry shortcakes, split the shortcakes in half. Spoon some of the strawberry filling onto the bottom half of each shortcake, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Place the top half of the shortcake on top and add another spoonful of strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
11.	Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade strawberry shortcakes!

Make sure the butter is cold when you cut it into the dry ingredients. This will help create a flaky and tender shortcake. Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor. If you don't have a biscuit or cookie cutter, you can use a round drinking glass to cut out the shortcake circles. You can make the shortcakes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Assemble the strawberry shortcakes right before serving. In summary, this easy and delicious strawberry shortcake recipe is perfect for a summer treat. With a fluffy shortcake and fresh strawberry filling, topped with homemade whipped cream, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Enjoy!
