Description
Create a delightful Skillet Strawberry Shortcake that turns an ordinary day into a celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups cold buttermilk
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups cold unsalted butter
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 2 cups ripe strawberries
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate measuring cup, whisk together the cold buttermilk, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Scatter the cubed cold butter over the dry ingredients and rub it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the buttermilk mixture into it, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour the dough into the prepared skillet, smoothing it out evenly and pressing sliced strawberries gently into the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- While the cake cools, combine the quartered ripe strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and lemon zest, stirring gently to macerate.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Spoon the macerated strawberries and their juices over the warm shortcake, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream.
