  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Method

  • FOR THE STRAWBERRIES: In a container with a lid, place strawberries, and sprinkle with sugar over the strawberries. Let sugar marinate over the strawberries for a couple of hours before using.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir heavy cream into sifted flour and mix gently until the flour is just incorporated. Gently knead and shape into 4 equal sized biscuits. Make four biscuits with dough, and place on a greased cookie sheet. If you have some dusting sugar, sprinkle a little onto the biscuits. Bake for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, the biscuits will be golden brown when done.
  • SHORTCAKE ASSEMBLY:
  • 1 biscuit.
  • 1 scoop Hagan Daas Vanilla Ice Cream.
  • Strawberries.
  • Whipped Cream.
  • Slice shortcake in half, lay bottom of shortcake in a plate, then add a scoop of ice cream, a spoonful of strawberries, top with the biscuit top and whipped cream. Add additional strawberries t the plate around the biscuit.
  • This is a great dessert to make ahead of time, and assemble the shortcakes right before dinner. I think if you added blackberries, or even blueberries to the mixture you would have a wonderful new creation.
