Strawberry shortcakes recipe

Does baking make your heart sing? Having breakfast with your favourite people? Why not bake something delicious to share? Mini strawberry shortcakes, or pastries in general, are the way to go. They have the appearance of scones, but the short pastry is so buttery and light that it melts in your mouth as you bite into it to reveal the smooth filling within. The strawberries give more than just a pop of colour; their signature sweetness is irresistible.

Strawberry shortcakes suggestions

You may serve your shortcakes in a few different ways. Put them in muffin pans or bake them and then split them apart like scones. But if you’re using muffin pans, fill them halfway with rice or baking weights to keep the muffins from rising too much. You may either construct gorgeous open delights with the filling and fresh strawberries on top, or you can make sandwiches with the filling. No matter how you decide to top them up, the creamy filling and flaky pastry will be delicious.

Try one of our bite-sized strawberry shortcakes for a classic treat to accompany your tea. It’s a celebration for friends and baking.
