How to Make Shortcake Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 3/4 cup milk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once and stir gently just until the dough is moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds.
  7. Pat or roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 biscuits.
  8. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Let the biscuits cool slightly. Split each biscuit horizontally and butter the cut sides.
  11. Top with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Serve warm and enjoy!
