How to cook deliciously - Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, just as you would in a pie crust recipe. Then, gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
2. Stage
Drop the biscuit dough by heaping tablespoonfuls into eight mounds on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the biscuits until they’re lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the biscuits to room temperature on a wire rack.
3. Stage
Meanwhile, place the cut strawberries, orange juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl. Toss gently until everything is combined. Editor’s Tip: This process is called macerating, which helps break down the strawberries so they’re juicer and sweeter.
4. Stage
With a sharp serrated knife, split the shortcakes in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on serving plates. Top each one with the whipped topping and the macerated strawberries. Replace the shortcake tops and serve!
