DAMARIS PHILLIPS - Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake

When it's too hot to turn on the oven I turn to my GE Air Fry Toaster oven to whip up this summertime classic!

1 lb Compound Butter

15 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 premade, unbaked biscuits (or use recipe for Sratch biscuits)

  • ¼ cup turbinado sugar

  • 2 ounces cream cheese

  • 8 ounces heavy cream

  • ¼ cup powder sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 32 ounces strawberry, hulled and sliced

  • ½ cup strawberry preserves

Scratch biscuits:

  • 2 cups self rising flour, plus more for dusting

  • 6 oz butter, cubed

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ½ cup lemon lime soda room temperature

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your GE Air Fry Toaster Oven to 375 - 380 Degrees F.

Press the tops of the biscuit dough into the turbinado sugar. Place them on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and doubled in height, about 18-22 minutes. (or as directed on biscuit dough package)

Meanwhile in a stand mixer combine the cream cheese and 1/4 cup heavy cream, beat until smooth and homogeneous. Add the remaining cream, powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until the cream has doubled in size and holds a soft peak. Set aside.

In a large bowl stir together the strawberries and preserves. Now it’s time to build!

Open the biscuit horizontally. Add the bottom to the plate. Top with heaping 1/2 cup of strawberries and a heaping 1/4 cup whipped cream. Place the biscuit top onto the whipped cream. Enjoy!

To make your own biscuts from sratch:

To a large bowl add the flour and cut in the butter using a pastry cutter until the butter is the size of peas.

Add the sour cream and the soda. Stir until the dough starts to come together.

Dust your work surface lightly with flour. Turn the dough out and knead until the dough goes from shaggy to smooth, about 12 times. Add a light amount of flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. Pat the dough out to a 1 inch thick disc.

Using a 2-3 inch biscuit cutter or cup, cut out the biscuits and press the tops into the turbinado sugar. Place them on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and doubled in height, about 22-27 minutes.
