Instructions //

For the Shortcake

  • Preheat oven to 385° F and grease a 9 x 9 inch baking pan.
  • Place all the dry ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix slightly. Add the cold butter in ½ inch chunks and pulse a few times.
  • Add the milk in several increments and pulse just until incorporated.
  • Spread roughly in a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with a fork.
  • Sprinkle granulated sugar on top - this will make it beautifully crunchy.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes at 385° F.

For the Cream

  • While the cake is baking, whip the cream. Add the cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar, and beat. Set aside.

For the Strawberries

  • Cut the strawberries however you'd like them - sliced, chopped, etc.
  • Drizzle honey over them and stir.

To Eat

  • Cut squares of warm cake and top with cream and strawberries. Enjoy the taste of an old-fashioned spring.
