It is strawberry season and I am always looking for different ways to use up my fresh strawberries. This classic strawberry shortcake is a perfect recipe that everyone enjoys. This recipe makes 6 biscuits and comes together fairly quickly.
Strawberry Shortcake Ingredients
This eggless strawberry shortcake recipe just needs a few simple ingredients.
- Strawberries: Try to find fresh strawberries if you can. They are just so much sweeter. Using fresh seasonal strawberries will give you the best results.
- Flour: Use all purpose flour to keep these eggless cakes nice and soft. I wouldn't use a wheat flour or almond flour as they wouldn't work well with the ratios in this recipe
- Sugar: This recipe uses a granulated sugar in the cake batter. You only use a little bit to give them some sweetness but most of the sweetness comes from the strawberries and whipped cream. For the top of the biscuits I like to add a corse sugar like cane sugar or turbinado sugar. This gives the cake a crispy top.
- Butter: Make sure to use cold butter in this recipe. It helps hold its shape and helps make for flaky biscuits. If you want these to be vegan cakes, use a vegan butter.
- Milk: You can use any type of milk you have. I use almond milk and it works great. You could also use a homemade buttermilk, regular milk, or any type of non-dairy milk.
- Whipped Cream: Use any type of whipped cream you have. If you want to make fresh whipping cream, there is a quick recipe in the notes.
How to Make Eggless Strawberry Shortcake?
There are just a few steps to make this shortcake recipe.
- Mix your strawberries and sugar and let that sit.
- Mix you dry ingredients in a bowl, cut in the butter, add the milk and shape.
- Cut the shortcakes and bake!
How to Store Strawberry Shortcake?
For best results, enjoy right away, but you can save them for later. Make sure to store your strawberries and shortcakes separately. You can store them each in an airtight container in the fridge. If you are going to eat them in the next couple of days you can store the shortcakes at room temperature.
Can this recipe be vegan?
Yes! If you use vegan butter and a milk alternative you can make this a vegan strawberry shortcake. I would suggest an almond or soy milk. Also make sure to get a vegan whipping cream.
