Classic Strawberry Shortcake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, which is 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a non-stick baking pan with a diameter of approximately 8 inches and lightly coat it with a layer of oil to prevent sticking.
3
Sift all the dry ingredients, including flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg, into a large mixing bowl. Use two knives or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until you achieve a mixture that resembles coarse crumbs.
4
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients until you have a batter that is just combined - avoid overmixing.
5
Spread this batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
6
Bake the cake in the preheated oven until it is golden brown, taking around 15 minutes.
7
Once done, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
