Instructions

Prepare the strawberries by slicing them and mixing with granulated sugar. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold butter and blend until crumbly.
Mix in milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract gently until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet to form six shortcakes and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
While cooling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until soft peaks form.
Assemble by splitting each shortcake in half, layering with strawberries and whipped cream, then topping with the other half.
