A delightful and easy-to-make Skillet Strawberry Shortcake recipe that combines buttery, tender shortcake with fresh strawberries and fluffy whipped cream, all baked in a cast iron skillet for a rustic touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Shortcake:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries

Strawberry Topping:

  • 4 cups ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 medium lemon, zested

Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet; line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
  2. Mix the shortcake: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Combine buttermilk, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix the wet into the dry ingredients, creating a moist dough.
  3. Prepare the skillet: Transfer the dough to the skillet, press sliced strawberries into the surface, and bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  4. Make the topping: Combine quartered strawberries, sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl to macerate.
  5. Whip the cream: Beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  6. Assemble: Spoon macerated strawberries over the shortcake and serve with whipped cream.
