Printable recipe
Yield: 6 servings
For the strawberry filling:
1 quart strawberries, sliced
½ cup sugar
For the shortcakes:
⅓ cup shortening
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
¾ cup milk
Additional sugar, for topping (if desired)
For the lemon cream:
½ cup lemon curd
½ cup heavy whipping cream
Mix strawberries and with the ½ cup of sugar. Let stand for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a medium bowl, cut the shortening into the flour, 2 tbsp. sugar, baking powder and salt until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk just until blended.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 20-25 times. Roll out into ½-in. thickness. Cut with a 3-in. floured biscuit cutter. Place shortcakes about 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle tops with additional sugar, if desired. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Place the lemon curd and heavy whipping cream in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
Split shortcakes horizontally. Place shortcake bottoms on serving plates. Top with lemon cream sauce and strawberries. Replace tops. Serve immediately.
