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.
OLD-FASHIONED SHORTCAKE
This is a fabulous old-fashioned recipe given to me by a friend. It was her mother's recipe and it is the best shortcake. It sops up all the juice and the touch of nutmeg sends it over the top. My very favorite recipe for strawberry shortcake!

- Lemon Curd (may also use store-bought): Whisk egg and egg yolk in medium bowl, set aside. Melt butter in medium metal or glass bowl set over large saucepan of simmering water. To this metal bowl, whisk in sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt; gradually whisk in egg mixture. Whisk until thick and thermometer inserted into curd registers 178°F to 180°F (it will continue to thicken upon standing). Transfer to small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 30-45 minutes (until cold) or refrigerate for up to 24 hours in an airtight container until ready to use.
- Strawberries: Using potato masher, mash 2 cups strawberries in a large bowl. Cut all remaining strawberries into 1/4 inch thick slices. Stir sliced strawberries and sugar into crushed strawberries. Refrigerate mixture until sugar has dissolved and strawberries are juicy, at least 30 minutes up to 24 hours. The longer the strawberries chill, the more juices they release. If you chill closer to 24 hours, you may need to drain off some excess juices although you definitely keep some (seeps into the biscuits - yum!).
- In food processor, pulse flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt until combined, about 5 pulses. Scatter butter over top and pulse mixture until it resembles coarse meal, about 15 pulses. Stir flour mixture into half and half/egg until large clumps form. Form the dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured surface, parchment paper or nonstick mat.
