A simple and quick strawberry shortcake recipe using only three ingredients: fresh strawberries, all-purpose flour, and sweetened condensed milk. Perfect for beginners and ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Gently wash, hull, and slice about 1 pound (450g) of fresh strawberries. Set aside in a bowl, optionally toss with 1 teaspoon sugar to draw out juice. Let rest.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour with 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Using floured hands or a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto the lined baking sheet. Flatten each slightly to about 1-inch thickness. You should get 8-10 biscuits.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until biscuits are golden on top and spring back when lightly pressed. Avoid opening oven door frequently.
  6. Remove from oven and let biscuits cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
  7. Slice each biscuit horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of macerated strawberries over the bottom half, then top with the other biscuit half. Optionally add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender. Use ripe strawberries for best flavor. Let strawberries rest with sugar to bring out juices. If dough is too sticky, dust hands and spoon with flour. Store biscuits and strawberries separately and assemble before serving to avoid sogginess.
