Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Base
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based cream
Strawberries
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Plant-Based Cream Topping
- 1 cup plant-based cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Optional Glaze
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Extra strawberry juice from macerated strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Toss gently with sugar and apple cider vinegar (natural) to enhance sweetness and release juices. Let macerate while preparing the biscuit base.
- Mix the Biscuit Dough: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in chilled plant-based butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in apple cider vinegar (natural) and plant-based cream until a soft dough forms.
- Spread and Bake the Base: Press dough evenly into a greased sheet pan to form the biscuit base. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Plant-Based Cream Topping: While the base bakes, whip plant-based cream with vanilla extract (natural) until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Shortcake: Once the biscuit base has cooled slightly, spread the macerated strawberries evenly over it. Add dollops or spread the whipped plant-based cream on top. Chill slightly or serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuit tender and fluffy.
- Chill the plant-based butter before mixing for flakier biscuit layers.
- Macerate strawberries in advance to develop flavor and moistness.
- Whip the plant-based cream until soft peaks form for perfect texture.
