 Certainly! Here's a recipe for classic strawberry shortcake:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

• 2/3 cup whole milk

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Stap 6. Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 8 equal mounds.

Step 7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the shortcakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8. While the shortcakes are baking, combine the sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl. Stir to combine and let sit at room temperature until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries release their juices.

Step 9. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

Step 10. To assemble, split the shortcakes in half and spoon the strawberry mixture and whipped cream onto the bottom half. Replace the top half of the shortcake and serve immediately.
