I have made a lot of recipes in the past two weeks with strawberries. But the first strawberries of the season in our house always has to be prepared for shortcake!

This is the recipe that we love. Shortcake is a very easy way to enjoy strawberries, especially with a dollop of whipped Meyer cream on top!

Strawberry Shortcake

Ingredients

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 Tablespoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 and 1/2 cups Meyer’s Dairy heavy cream

Steps

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

- Mix together in a bowl with a fork the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Add the heavy cream and mix until just combined. Place the dough in an ungreased 8-inch square pan and bake 18-20 minutes, until golden in color.

- Let cool for 10 minutes. Take the shortcake from the pan and place on a rack to continue cooling. Cut into 6 pieces and split each piece in half horizontally.

- Slice strawberries and spoon them on top of the shortcake bottom. Place the top on the strawberries and the top the shortbread with whipped Meyer cream. Enjoy the taste of late spring!
