Ingredients

Servings

• 1 pound Strawberries
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Grand Marnier

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Set aside to macerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.
4. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds. Pat or roll the dough into a 1/2-inch thick round.
5. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out shortcakes from the dough. Place the shortcakes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the shortcakes to cool slightly.
7. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and Grand Marnier until soft peaks form.
8. To serve, split the shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon macerated strawberries onto the bottom half of each shortcake. Top with a dollop of Grand Marnier cream and cover with the remaining shortcake half.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
