Ingredients

For The Biscuits

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

For the Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

For The Toppings

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons sugar, baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Pour 1 ½ cups whipping cream over the dry ingredients and mix just until no dry spots remain. Dough will be stiff, use your hands to mix if needed. Set dough aside.
  • Make the caramel sauce by whisking together 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup cream, the cinnamon and salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • Grease an 8x8" baking dish or deep dish pie plate and pour the caramel sauce into the bottom.
  • Portion the biscuit dough using a spoon or cookie scoop into 8 evenly sized biscuits. Nestle the bottom of each spoonful of dough into the caramel sauce.
  • Place the biscuits in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits have begun to turn golden brown and the caramel sauce is bubbling on the sides.
  • While the biscuits are baking, combine the remaining 1 cup of cream with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and beat with an electric mixer until thick and fluffy. Set aside.
  • Combine the sliced strawberries and toss with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside.
  • Allow the biscuits to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before removing from the pan.
  • Assemble the shortcakes by cutting off the tops of the biscuits and filling with a scoop of whipped cream followed by a spoonful of strawberries. Replace the top of the biscuit and serve!
