How to Make Strawberry Shortcake With Buttermilk Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Biscuits: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add buttermilk, mixing with a fork until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a ball.
  6. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 3-inch round.
  7. Place the biscuit rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  10. Strawberry Filling: In a large bowl, gently toss together the sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and raspberry preserves. Let stand for at least 1 hour, or until a syrup forms, stirring occasionally.
  11. Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  12. Assemble: Once the biscuits are lukewarm, slice each biscuit in half horizontally.
  13. Place the bottom halves of the biscuits in individual serving bowls or plates.
  14. Top each biscuit with a generous amount of the macerated strawberries and whipped cream.
  15. Cover with the biscuit tops.
  16. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
