Buttermilk Strawberry Shortcake Dessert

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buttermilk Strawberry Shortcake Dessert.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/3 cup of white sugar, and a pinch of salt, whisking them together until they harmonize.

   Next, take your chilled butter and, using a knife or pastry blender, work it into the flour mixture until it achieves a texture reminiscent of coarse crumbs.
