Step Back in Time with a Nostalgic 1950s Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Pan

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl stir together flour,  the 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. Make Shortcake Biscuit Dough

    Make a well in center of flour mixture. In a small bowl combine egg and sour cream. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture, stirring with a fork just until moistened. Stir in milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.

  3. Bake Shortcake Biscuits

    On a lightly floured surface. Pat dough out until 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter cut out biscuits, reshaping the dough when needed. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove; cool on a wire rack.

  4. Prepare Sweetened Strawberries

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl toss together 4 cups of the strawberries and the 3 Tbsp. sugar. If desired, mash berries slightly.

  5. Make Whipped Cream

    In a chilled bowl combine  heavy cream, the  2 Tbsp. sugar, and vanilla. Beat with chilled beaters of a mixer on medium until soft peaks form (tips curl).

  6. Assemble and Serve Strawberry Shortcakes

    To serve, cut shortcakes in half horizontally. Spoon half of the strawberry mixture over shortcake bottoms. Replace tops. Top with remaining strawberry mixture and 1 cup sliced strawberries. Serve with Sweetened Whipped Cream.

Place a wire rack on top of pan; place one hand on top of rack and other hand under pan with a hot pad and invert pan with rack; cool shortcake. Split and assemble as directed. Makes 8 servings.
