20 10 30

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • SHORTCAKE:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 6 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • LEMON BUTTER:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • WHIPPED CREAM:
  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine strawberries and sugar; cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • In another large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the milk, egg yolk and lemon peel; stir into crumb mixture until a soft dough forms (dough will be sticky).
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 10 times. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Gently pat or roll each portion into a 3/4-in.-thick circle. Place 2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack; cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine butter and lemon peel; set aside. In another small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form.
  • To assemble, split shortcakes in half. Place cake bottoms on dessert plates; spread with lemon butter. Top with half of the strawberries and whipped cream. Replace shortcake tops; top with remaining berries and cream. Yield: 4 servings.
