Shortcake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ⅔ cup whole milk

Topping

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
