Ingredients

Shortcakes:

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter frozen and grated
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg whisked, for egg wash
  • 1 tbsp sugar for brushing

Labneh Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup labneh
  • cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves
  • Fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions

For the shortcakes:

  • Preheat the oven to 420ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift the ap flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar and lemon zest. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Add the grated butter into the flour and toss together using your hands. The dough will be crumbly and look like coarse sand.
  • Make a well in the center of the butter and flour mixture, pour the buttermilk in. Bring the dough together using your hands or a spatula, careful to not overwork (it'll result in hard shortcakes).
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured working surface. Flour your hands and mold the dough into a rectangle, until it’s about ½ inch thick.
  • Cut into 2.5-inch circles using a biscuit cutter. Re-working scraps until you have 12 biscuits.
  • Transfer to prepared baking sheet, brush with egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool before slicing.

For the Labneh Whipped Cream:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add heavy cream, labneh, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla, and whisk on medium high until stiff peaks form. About 4-5 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To serve:

  • Slice biscuits in half, add whipped labneh, Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves and sliced strawberries. Top with remaining half and drizzle honey on top.
