Classic Strawberry Shortcake with Blueberries

A traditional, flaky biscuit-based shortcake layered with sweet macerated strawberries, fresh blueberries, and homemade whipped cream.

  • Total Time: PT45M
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 2 tbsp for fruit)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
2/3 cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
1 large egg
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup heavy whipping cream (for topping)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, toss sliced strawberries and blueberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let sit at room temperature to macerate.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4: Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5: Whisk together 2/3 cup heavy cream and the egg, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
Step 6: Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick circle, and cut into 8 rounds using a biscuit cutter.
Step 7: Place rounds on the baking sheet, brush with cream, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8: Whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with vanilla until soft peaks form. Split warm biscuits, fill with fruit and cream, and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure butter is ice-cold for the best biscuit texture.
