Description
A classic dessert featuring flaky buttermilk biscuits topped with a simple, homemade strawberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Sauce:
3 cups fresh sliced strawberries, stems removed
1/4 cup organic cane sugar
1/2 lemon, freshly-squeezed
3 Tbsps strawberry preserves/jam
1/4 cup water
For Assembly:
4–8 Flaky Honey Buttermilk Biscuits
1 cup whipped cream, homemade or store-bought
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
Organic raw honey, for drizzle (optional)
Fresh strawberries, sliced for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: To make the strawberry sauce, combine 3 cups of sliced strawberries, organic cane sugar, lemon juice, strawberry preserves, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Step 2: Stir until all ingredients are combined. Continue stirring as the strawberries soften, cooking until the mixture begins to thicken, which takes about 5-6 minutes.
- Step 3: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool completely.
- Step 4: To assemble the shortcakes, place one or two buttermilk biscuits on a plate.
- Step 5: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry sauce over the biscuit.
- Step 6: Add dollops of whipped cream or a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream.
- Step 7: If desired, garnish with a few fresh strawberry slices and a drizzle of honey.
- Step 8: Repeat the process for all servings and serve immediately.
Notes
To make your own biscuits, this recipe recommends using a Flaky Honey Buttermilk Biscuits recipe.
Vanilla ice cream can be used as an optional alternative to whipped cream.
Ensure the strawberry sauce is completely cool before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
