Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425F 220C. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold butter and mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla until just combined.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently pat it out, and cut into 8 circles using a biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, mix the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to release the juices.
For the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
Once the shortcakes have cooled slightly, split them in half, top with strawberries and whipped cream, and enjoy!

Pro Tip: For an extra hint of flavor, add a dash of lemon zest to the shortcake dough! It brightens up the entire dessert and complements the strawberries beautifully.
