Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Strawberries
• 2 tablespoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoon Orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 4 leaves Mint leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven and let the shortcakes cool slightly.
6. To assemble, split the shortcakes in half. Spoon some of the macerated strawberries onto the bottom half of each shortcake. Top with whipped cream and place the other half of the shortcake on top.
7. Garnish with mint leaves. Serve with additional macerated strawberries and syrup if desired.
