Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour; 1/3 cup white sugar; 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon; 1 1/4 cups chilled butter, cut into pieces; 1 egg; 3 1/2 cups whipped cream; 1/4 cup milk; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or to taste; 2 tablespoons white sugar; 1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced; 3 tablespoons white sugar; 2 cups whipped cream, or as desired

Servings: persons

3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups chilled butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
3 1/2 cups whipped cream
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or to taste
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups whipped cream, or as desired

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Sift the self-rising flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the cold butter pieces, and chop the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and whipped cream together, and pour into the bowl containing the flour mixture; add milk and vanilla extract. Stir to make a dough.
3
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes; allow the cake to cool completely. With a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 16 hearts from the cake. It helps to wiggle the cutter slightly while cutting. Remove cut-outs carefully to avoid breaking.
5
Mix strawberries with 3 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl; place a shortcake heart on a plate, and top with sweetened strawberries, then spoon about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream on the berries. Top with another heart-shaped shortcake and serve.
