Normally, I can't stand the thought of taking a shot...but I think I would change my ways for these cute desserts! Wouldn't these be perfect to serve instead of cake at a birthday party, holiday get together, or bridal shower? Can I request that they be served at mine? ;)
1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 T baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 1/2 T sugar
1/2 stick (4 T) chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 to 1/2 c milk
2 c sliced strawberries
1/3 c sugar
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
1 T sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries & sugar, then set aside
- In another large bowl (or food processor if you have one), combine the dry ingredients for the biscuits and mix until combined. Using a hand mixer on low speed, add the butter to the flour mixture and mix until you end up with a coarse meal. Some larger pieces of butter are okay to have in the mix at this point. Add the milk slowly and mix with a fork until the dough begins to moisten. Don’t overmix!
- Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently, 3-4 times, until the dough holds together on its own. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it’s about ½” thick. With a cookie cutter (or the smaller end of your shot glass), cut out tiny little shortcakes. You should be able to make at least 16 1 ½” biscuits. Place the biscuits onto a foil-lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with some sugar (if desired) and bake in the oven for 8-11 minutes or until a light golden brown at the top.
- While the shortcake biscuits are baking, make the whipped cream by combining the cream & 1 T sugar in a bowl and whipping until light & fluffy.
- Once the biscuits are done, allow to cool on a rack for a few minutes. Assemble your dessert shots parfait-style, layering a biscuit, strawberries, and whipped cream. Garnish with whipped cream and more strawberries, and enjoy!
~Hope you're having a relaxing, fun-filled weekend!~
