Zubereitung von Balsamic Strawberry Shortcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork just until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 4 biscuits. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each.
- Whisk 1 egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of water and brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- While the biscuits bake, combine 2 cups sliced strawberries, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- Slice the biscuits in half horizontally.
- Divide the macerated strawberries evenly among the bottom halves of the biscuits.
- Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and place the biscuit tops on each.
- Serve immediately with extra whipped cream and macerated strawberries on the side.
