Dessert
Strawberry shortcakes are the kind of dessert that feels like pure sunshine on a plate. Flakey biscuits, sweet, juicy strawberries, and a cloud of whipped cream - each bite is light, fresh, and just a little indulgent. They’re simple to make but look so special, perfect for summer gatherings or when you just need a little pick-me-up. Plus, there’s something so satisfying about building each one right before serving.

Ingredients

Biscuits

  • ¼ cup (60 mL)
    unsweetened soy milk, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tsp (5 mL)
    white vinegar
  • 1 cup (138 g)
    all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp (14 g)
    granulated sugar, plus extra for decoration
  • ½ Tbsp (7 g)
    baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp
    salt
  • 3 Tbsp (42 g)
    unsalted vegan butter, chilled, cubed

Stewed strawberries

  • 2 cups (300 g)
    frozen strawberries
  • 2 Tbsp (28 g)
    granulated sugar
  • ½ Tbsp (4 g)
    cornstarch

Whipped cream

Optional garnishes

  • fresh strawberries
  • powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Line a baking tray and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)*.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the chilled butter to the flour mixture. Use two forks, your hands, or a pastry cutter to "cut" the butter into pea-sized pieces.
  5. Add the milk-vinegar mixture to the large bowl and mix until all the flour is incorporated into a dough. Little pieces of butter might be visible and that's okay.
  6. Pat the dough into an 1-inch (2 cm) thick disk. Cut disk into quarters.
  7. Transfer the biscuits to the lined baking tray and brush the tops with some milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  8. Bake on the centre rack of the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, or until golden.
  9. Meanwhile, add all the stewed strawberry ingredients to a saucepan.
  10. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 12 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  11. Meanwhile, in a chilled bowl, whip the cream ingredients together until fluffy using an electric hand mixer.
  12. To serve, split a biscuit in half and top with the strawberries and cream.
  13. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).

Storage

  • Assembled, these should be enjoyed immediately.
  • The stewed strawberries can be made in advance, stored in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • The biscuits can also be made in advance and frozen, before or after baking, for up to 2 months. Bake the frozen, raw biscuits as per the directions, adding extra time as needed to achieve a golden colour.

Could it be that a step is missing? My dough came out very wet so had to bake it for 10 mins before I could cut it in 4 pieces and then baked it again. Came put absolutely DELICIOUS 😍

Delicious! Mine came out a bit more wet than the pictures, so I baked them for 10 minutes longer and they turned out perfect :)
