Mini Toasted Strawberry Shortcakes Recipes

BREAKFAST STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, dairy product and 1/4 cup water in a medium bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour the dough and pat it out until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Using a spatula or bench scraper, fold the dough in half like a book. Pat it into a 5-by-10-inch rectangle. Flour a sharp knife and cut the rectangle in half lengthwise. Cut each half into four 2 1/2-inch squares, flouring the knife after each cut. Evenly space the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until light golden, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, apple juice, honey and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Cook until the strawberries are softened, about 5 minutes. Uncover the pan and break up the strawberries with a fork or potato masher. Continue to cook over medium-high heat, uncovered and stirring frequently, until the foam subsides and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
• To serve, cut each biscuit in half, spoon in some dairy product and top with the strawberry mixture.

TINY STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack at the center of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cream, lemon juice and lemon zest, and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture just forms a dough. Gather the dough into a ball, and transfer it to a flour-dusted work surface. Pat it into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut out as many mini biscuits as you can with a 1-inch round cookie cutter. Gently press the scraps together, and repeat. Arrange the biscuits 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush them with more cream, and sprinkle with a little sugar.
• Bake 1 sheet of biscuits on the center rack until they are just golden, about 10 minutes; repeat with the second sheet. While they are still warm, use the rounded side of a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon to make an indentation on the top of each. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Toss together the strawberries and jam in a small bowl, and fill each biscuit indentation with some of the mixture. Top with a small dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf. (The shortcakes can be made and refrigerated up to 2 hours before serving.)
