THE BEST CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
For our simple and iconic shortcake, we discovered a great double-stacking technique that creates super light and high biscuits that are easy to split. This makes them easy to fill without crumbling. A simple recipe like this one allows its ingredients to shine, so use the very best berries you can find.

Steps:
- For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pour in the chilled heavy cream mixture and pulse until just combined.
- Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut out as many biscuits as you can with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Then pat the remaining dough out to 1/2-inch thick again. Cut more biscuits; you should get 12.
- Put 6 of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with cream, then top each cream-brushed biscuit with one of the remaining biscuit rounds. (This makes it easier to split once they are baked.) Brush the top of each biscuit stack with more heavy cream and sprinkle 1 teaspoon granulated sugar on each biscuit.
- Bake the biscuits until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, for the topping: Toss the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
- Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Split the shortcakes in half. Spoon half the cream on the bottom of the biscuits, top evenly with the strawberries and top with the remaining cream. Put each biscuit top on and serve.
STRAWBERRIES WITH BROWN BUTTER SHORTCAKE
This recipe came to The Times from David Guas, a New Orleans chef. He substitutes a spongecake enriched with browned butter for crumbly shortcake. And instead of simply seasoning raw berries with sugar, he cooks them lightly over steaming water with orange zest, which fills the kitchen with the smell of warm, simmering fruit.

Steps:
- Pour an inch of water into a large pot and simmer over medium-high heat. Stir strawberries, orange zest and 1/4 cup sugar in a large stainless steel mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place on pot so bowl does not touch water. Reduce heat to low and let strawberries cook for 20 minutes. Remove bowl and refrigerate until chilled. (Strawberry sauce, which will be chunky, can be made up to one day ahead.)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a 10-inch cake pan on parchment paper; trace and cut out a circle. Grease pan's bottom and sides with one tablespoon butter, press parchment into pan, then flip paper over, buttered side up. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour on parchment and tap to coat bottom and sides of pan; discard excess.
- Melt remaining butter over medium-high heat. Simmer, whisking often to incorporate any solids that sink to bottom, until butter is a golden-amber color and smells nutty, about 4 to 6 minutes. If it sputters, reduce heat. Set butter aside to cool.
- Bring the large pot with an inch of water in it to a simmer again over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs and remaining one cup sugar together in a large heatproof bowl and place over pot of water. Again, bottom of bowl should not touch water. Reduce heat to low and whisk mixture until it has tripled in volume, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip on high speed until mixture is thick and pale, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed of mixer to low and slowly drizzle in warm butter (adding it too quickly will cause batter to separate), using a rubber spatula to scrape browned bits into batter.
- Sift remaining 1 cup flour, baking powder and salt together. Using a whisk, gently fold one-third of dry ingredients into batter, then half the buttermilk. Repeat, ending with last third of dry mixture. Transfer batter to cake pan and bake until cake sides pull away from pan and center resists light pressure, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before running a paring knife around edge of pan to release cake. Invert onto a rack to cool completely.
- Slice into wedges and serve topped with the strawberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.

CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
For this strawberry shortcake recipe, I modified the way my grandfather made his and used self-rising flour and toasted butter for a nutty flavor. I'm hoping Armand Cianfoni would approve.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
There's a kind of magic in a summer recipe that you can make wherever you are, provided that wherever you are has, say, flour, butter, an oven and whatever fruit is most glorious is at that very moment. This is one such recipe, so simple that you can decide that you're having shortcake for dessert and make it so within the hour, and so satisfying that it may become your go-to for summer, the recipe you keep in your back pocket. Strawberries are the classic choice, but this would also be heavenly in high summer with very ripe peaches or any other juicy, macerated fruit.

Steps:
- Pick over and hull strawberries. Cut in half or slice, depending on size. Gently crush about a quarter of the berries with a fork to release their juices. Mix with remaining berries and the 1/2 cup of sugar, adding more sugar if necessary. Set aside, covered, for about half an hour to develop flavor.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Into a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and baking powder. Add 3/4 cup of softened butter, and rub into dry ingredients as for pastry. Add 1 1/4 cups cream, and mix to a soft dough. Knead the dough for one minute on a lightly floured pastry board, then roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut an even number of rounds - 2 rounds per serving.
- Use a little of the butter to grease a baking sheet. Place half the rounds on it. Melt remaining butter and brush a little on the rounds; place remaining rounds on top. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, and pull shortcakes apart. Brush the insides with some of the remaining melted butter.
- Beat remaining cream until it thickens. Add vanilla. Beat again just until thick.
- Place a bottom half of a shortcake on each plate. Top with a generous spoonful of berries. Cover with a top half, add a few more berries, and top with whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan with 1 inch of water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir the strawberries, lemon zest and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a large stainless steel mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place on top of the simmering pot (the bottom of the bowl shouldn't touch the water). Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the strawberries macerate over the simmering water for 20 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pot and refrigerate until chilled. (Note: The strawberry sauce can be made up to 1 day in advance.).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a 10-inch cake pan on parchment paper; trace and cut out a circle. Spray the pan with nonstick spray, then place the round piece of parchment into the bottom of the pan and spray one more time. Sprinkle a couple of spoonfuls of flour into the pan, tap and coat bottom and sides of the pan and discard any excess flour.
- Cut the 1 1/2 sticks of butter into small pieces and melt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer, whisking often to incorporate any solids that sink to the bottom, until the butter is a golden-amber color and smells nutty, 4 to 6 minutes. Set the butter aside to cool.
- To prepare the cake: In a large bowl, whisk eggs and 1 cup sugar vigorously for about 2 minutes. The mixture will be bright yellow. Set whisk aside and continue by using an electric mixer to whip the eggs and remaining 1/4 cup sugar on high speed until the mixture is thick and pale in color (4 to 5 minutes more). Reduce speed to low and slowly (adding too quickly will cause mixture to separate) add in the cooled brown butter making sure to scrape in all of the brown bits.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Using a whisk, gently fold in one-third of dry ingredients into the batter, then half the buttermilk. Repeat, ending with the last third of the dry mixture. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake sides pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. If the cake appears to be browning too quickly, cover lightly with foil in the last 10 minutes of baking. Let cake cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes before removing from pan. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the Chantilly Cream: Pour the heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer, add the vanilla and sift in the confectioners' sugar. Whip on low speed to combine and then increase the speed to medium-high. Whip until medium-stiff peaks form, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a plate and slice into wedges. Serve topped with strawberries, sauce and a dollop of Chantilly Cream or slice each wedge in half horizontally and sandwich the halves with strawberries and sauce, then top with cream.

STRAWBERRY AND BROWN BUTTER SHORTCAKE

Steps:
- 1. Prepare Strawberry Sauce: Fill large pot with one-inch of water; bring to a simmer. In a medium stainless steel bowl, combine strawberries, lemon zest and 1/4 cup sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and place the bowl on the pot of simmering water (the water should not be touching the bottom of the bowl). Let strawberries cook for 20 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pot; refrigerate until chilled (may be made one day ahead).
- 2. Prepare the pan: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 9 or 10-inch cake pan on parchment paper, trace a circle and cut out. Spray the pan with nonstick spray, then place the round piece of parchment into the bottom of the pan and spray one more time. Sprinkle a couple of spoonfuls of flour into the pan, tap and coat bottom and sides of the pan and discard any excess flour. Note: If you use a 9-inch pan... make sure it's one that has tall sides. I used a regular 9-inch pan and it worked just fine, but the cake definitely rose to the top of the pan (it did not spill over the sides, thankfully!)
- 3. Brown the butter: Melt butter over medium-high heat. Simmer, whisking constantly, until butter is a golden-amber color and smells nutty, about 4 to 6 minutes (you'll begin to see browned bits floating in the bottom of the pan). Reduce heat if it's boiling too rapidly. Watch the butter closely as it turns from browned to burnt rather quickly. Remove from heat and let cool.
- 4. Prepare the cake: In a large bowl, whisk eggs and 1 cup sugar vigorously for about 2 minutes. The mixture will be bright yellow. Set whisk aside and use electric mixer to whip the eggs & sugar on high speed until the mixture is thick and paled in color (2 to 3 minutes more). Reduce speed to low and slowly add in the cooled brown butter. Make sure you scrape in all of the brown bits too.
- 5. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Using a whisk, gently stir in one-third of dry ingredients into the batter, then half the buttermilk. Repeat, ending with the last third of the dry mixture. Scrape the batter into your prepared pan. Bake until the cake sides pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes for a 10-inch pan and about 40 minutes for a 9-inch pan. If the cake appears to be browning too quickly, cover lightly with foil in the last 10 minutes of baking. Let cake cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes before removing from pan. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 6. Cut wedges and serve topped with strawberry sauce (or simply sliced fresh strawberries) and whipped cream.
