Recipe Scones (sweet biscuits) for Strawberry Shortcake

Ingredients :

• 1 cup AP flour
• 1 1/2 tbsp sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp cold butter, cubed
• 1/3 cup half-and-half, plus more for brushing

Method :

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. In cold glass bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Add cold butter and blend with a cold pastry blender or fork until coarse meal is formed.
4. Add half-and-half and mix gently with a fork or spatula just until incorporated. It should still be kinda crumbly and that"s the way you want it.
5. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and fold over a couple of times just until it holds together.
6. Pat to about 3/4 inch thick and cut into 4 3" biscuits. Mine were a little thinner, so I got 5 biscuits.
7. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with half-and-half and sprinkle with sugar.
8. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
9. For strawberry shortcake: Split biscuit, add mascerbated strawberries with syrup on bottom biscuit. Add whipped cream then biscuit top.
