Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

Add in butter and mix with a pastry blender or using your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Add milk, egg and vanilla extract, stir until well combined.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it to form a 8 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool.

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

To assemble, split each biscuit in half, and place a layer of whipped cream and fresh strawberries on the bottom biscuit, top with the other half biscuit and repeat the layers until you reach the top biscuit.

Serve immediately.
