Instructions

  1. HEAT oven to 425°F. Combine flour and 3 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until crumbs are the size of peas. Blend in 3/4 cup cream with fork until dough holds together.
  2. TURN dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead 4 to 5 times. Roll out to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut using floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on baking sheet. Reroll scraps to cut remaining shortcakes. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  3. BAKE 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
  4. BEAT remaining cream and powdered sugar in medium bowl with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  5. SPLIT biscuits in half horizontally. Top bottom halves with strawberries and whipped cream. Place top halves over whipped cream. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar, if desired.

Baking Tip

When making pizza crusts, use 2 to 2-1/2 cups of bread flour (hard wheat) or 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 cups of all-purpose flour (soft wheat).

Baking Tip

For a thinner, crisper pizza crust, use White Lily® All-Purpose Flour. For a thicker, chewier crust, use White Lily Bread Flour.
