STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES FOR 2 (AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN)
Since there are only two of us in the house (well only 2 humans), I don't like to make desserts because there's SO MUCH. So when I came across this recipe I had to try it. It was delicious and the portions were just perfect for us. From Cooking For Two 2009, America's Test Kitchen

Steps:
- For the shortcakes, use first 8 ingredients: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the middle position. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, mix the flour, 5 teaspoons of sugar, the baking powder, and salt until combined (about 3 pulses) then add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal (about 15 pulses).
- Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Whisk the half-and-half and the whole egg together then mix into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until large clumps form. The recipe indicates that using regular milk is ok but not as rich as the half-and-half and that using heavy cream makes the cakes too dense.
- Turn the mixture onto a floured board and shape the dough into two circles about 2-1/2 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick.
- Brush the tops with the egg white. Then sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar.
- Place on prepared cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning the pan halfway through cooking.
- Cool on wire wrack.
- For the fruit use the next 2 ingredients: Crush 3/4 cup (about 3.75 ounces) of the strawberries with a potato masher in a medium bowl. Slice the remaining strawberries and fold them into the crushed berries, along with the sugar. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- For the whipped cream use the last 3 ingredients:.
- Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium spead until frothy -- about 1 minute. Then turn to high and whip to soft peaks, 1-3 minutes. Of course, store bought whipped cream will work, too.
- To serve: Slice the shortcake horizontally. Place some of the strawberries on the bottom half, put a dollop or two of whipped cream on the strawberries and top with the other half of the short cake.

Steps:
- Marinate the strawberries: in a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Set aside to marinate while you make the shortcakes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter and, using your fingers, cut in the butter until pea-sized pieces form and the mixture starts to clump together. Add 1 cup (240 ml) cream and mix just to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean work surface and pat into a ¾-inch-thick (2 cm) rectangle. Cut into 8 squares. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each square with the remaining 1½ tablespoons of heavy cream and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and flaky salt.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the shortcakes are cooked through and golden on top.
- Cool the shortcakes, then split and serve with the marinated strawberries and whipped cream.
- Enjoy!

- In a food processor, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and pinch of salt. Pulse once to combine. Add the frozen butter diced into 6 pieces. Pulse 10-12 times, until the butter is the size of small peas. Add all of the cream to the feed tube and continue pulsing. The dough will not come together into a ball and that’s okay. Dump the dough onto a floured surface and knead a few times until a dough forms. Pat the dough into a 1/2” thick rectangle. Cut the dough in half to form two square biscuits. Move the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet and brush with extra cream and sprinkle with extra sugar.
