Ingredients 

Shortcake Biscuits

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ⅔ cup whole milk

Strawberry Filling

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
