Strawberry Shortcake Scones Recipe 465

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice 1 cup of the strawberries and transfer to a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and mix well. Set aside.
• Halve or quarter the remaining strawberries and transfer to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper; mix well. Let stand until juicy, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of the heavy cream with the sour cream until just smooth. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working over the bowl, grate the butter on the large holes of a box grater. Gently toss the butter with the dry ingredients, then stir in the sliced strawberries. Pour in the cream mixture and stir together until evenly moistened.
• Scrape the mixture onto a work surface and fold a few times until the dough comes together, then pat into a 2-inch-thick rectangle. Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 6 equal scones. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each scone with sugar. Bake until puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whip the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream with a whisk or electric mixer until stiff. Split the scones horizontally and fill with the whipped cream and juicy strawberries.

Steps:

• For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pour in the chilled heavy cream mixture and pulse until just combined.
• Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut out as many biscuits as you can with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Then pat the remaining dough out to 1/2-inch thick again. Cut more biscuits; you should get 12.
• Put 6 of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with cream, then top each cream-brushed biscuit with one of the remaining biscuit rounds. (This makes it easier to split once they are baked.) Brush the top of each biscuit stack with more heavy cream and sprinkle 1 teaspoon granulated sugar on each biscuit.
• Bake the biscuits until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• Meanwhile, for the topping: Toss the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
• Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Split the shortcakes in half. Spoon half the cream on the bottom of the biscuits, top evenly with the strawberries and top with the remaining cream. Put each biscuit top on and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar (plus more to taste) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the sugar into a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the sour cream, shortening, egg, milk and baking soda. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until the dough just holds together. Roll or pat the dough to a circle about 1/2inch thick. In a cup, combine the lemon zest and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and sprinkle it over the circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and transfer them to a shiny, lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly. When ready to serve, split the scones in half, top the bottom half with a generous serving of berries, cover with the top half and garnish with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Toss in strawberries and coat lightly with flour.
• Add half and half and fold together gently until just begins to come together and form a soft dough. (Do not knead or over mix dough).
• Turn dough out onto floured surface and pat into a 1 inch thick rectangle.
• With sharp knife, cut rectangle into 6 squares, then cut squares on diagonal to form 12 traingles.
• Place scone on prepared baking sheet and bake 16-18 minutes or until cooked through and olden.
• Place sheet of parchment on work surface, then a cooling rack over top. Remove scones from pan to cooling rack. Cool about 10 minutes.
• GLAZE:.
• Make glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla and half and half until smooth. (if glaze too thick, add more cream. If to thin, add more powdered sugar.
• Generously drizzle scones with glaze. (Glaze will firm up when completely cool.
