6 -7 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1 1/4 cups half-and-half cream

Wash and hull the strawberries; drain.

Prepare the shortcake.
4
Set oven to 375u00b0F.

With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the cold butter until particles are the size of small peas.

On a lightly floured surface, gather up 1/2 cup dough per biscuit.

Pat dough into 8 (4-inch) rounds.
11
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown; cool slightly (can fill with the whipped cream and strawberries when cake is still warm (it is actually the best this way!).

In a bowl, beat the whipping cream (can use more than the 3 cups of whipping cream if desired, just increase the sugar a little) with 4 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form.

To serve, split the baked shortcakes into halves.

Ladle strawberries in the middle and on top of the shortcake.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
