Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the strawberries)
  • Homemade whipped cream (see recipe below)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and almond extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds until it forms a ball.
  6. Pat the dough into a round disk about 1 inch thick and use a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out the shortcakes.
  7. Place the shortcakes on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little milk or cream. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. While the shortcakes are baking, prepare the strawberries. In a bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries and sugar until well coated. Set aside.
  9. To assemble the shortcakes, split them in half and place a spoonful of the strawberry mixture on the bottom half. Top with a dollop of homemade whipped cream and another shortcake. Repeat the process with the remaining shortcakes.
  10. Serve the Almond Strawberry Shortcakes immediately and enjoy!

  • You can use any type of berries you like, such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
