                            What is a strawberry shortcake?

Strawberry shortcake is a classic dessert made from shortbread or shortbread with freshly sliced ​​strawberries and whipped cream. Cookies or cakes are usually made from flour, sugar, sugar and baking powder and are usually lightly sweetened. Strawberries are usually sliced ​​and mixed with a little sugar to extract the juice, then poured over the cookie base. A generous amount of whipped cream is then added to the dessert, creating a creamy and light contrast with the sweet and slightly tangy strawberries. Strawberry Shortcake is the perfect dessert  for spring and summer when fresh strawberries are in season.

Recipe for this classic strawberry cake:

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour

2. 2 tablespoons sugar

3. 1 tablespoon baking powder

4. 1/2 teaspoon salt

5. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

6. 2/3 cup milk

7. 2 cups sliced strawberries

8. 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).  

In a large  bowl, mix the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder and salt. 

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, add the cooled butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.  

Add the milk little by little until the dough comes together. 

Turn the batter out onto a softly floured surface and manipulate briefly until smooth. 

Rehash cookie mixture and cut into circles almost 1/2 inch thick, at that point utilize a bread cutter.  

Place the rack on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  

Heat for 12-15 minutes or until light brown. 

While baking, place the  strawberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl and let sit for  10 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices. 

To serve, cut the cookie in half and place the bottom half on a plate. 

Spoon a few of the strawberry blend onto the foot half and beat with a dab of whipped cream. 

Place half the dough on top and serve immediately. Hello strawberry shortcake!
