Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries sliced

  • pinch salt
  • tablespoons baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter

Instructions

  • Combine the strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready.
  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  • Whisk together the flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two knives. Stir in the cream until a dough forms.

  • Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Top with your strawberry mix and whipped cream.

Tip: This recipe does better if you mix it by hand. The secret is not to over mix the dough.
