Tips for making Sourdough Buttermilk Strawberry Shortcakes:
Quality Ingredients: Use fresh strawberries, high-quality sourdough discard, and real buttermilk for the best flavor in your shortcakes.
Buttermilk Biscuit Texture: Aim for a light and tender texture in your biscuits by handling the dough gently and avoiding over mixing.
Chilled Ingredients: Keep your butter and buttermilk cold until ready to use to ensure flaky layers in the biscuits.
Proper Cutting Technique: Use a sharp biscuit cutter to cut the dough into rounds without twisting, which can seal the edges and prevent proper rising.
Bake Until Golden: Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center for the best texture.
Sweetened Strawberries: Macerate the strawberries with sugar to draw out their juices and enhance their sweetness before assembling the shortcakes.
Fluffy Whipped Cream: Whip the cream until stiff peaks form just before serving to ensure it stays light and fluffy.
Assembly: Slice the biscuits in half horizontally and layer with macerated strawberries and whipped cream for a beautiful presentation.
Serve Fresh: Enjoy the sourdough buttermilk strawberry shortcakes immediately after assembling to savor the flavors at their peak.
