🍓 Sourdough + Strawberries = The BEST Summer Dessert

Hey Reader,

Strawberry picking has always been one of my favorite things to do once the weather warms up. There’s just something about a sunny field and a bucket full of ripe berries that makes it feel like summer’s finally here. 🍓☀️

Last year, I even tried growing my own strawberries in the garden. I did get a few… but the birds, bugs, and bunnies definitely enjoyed them more than I did. 😅

One strawberry dessert I’ve loved since I was a kid (and still do) is strawberry shortcake. 🍰

So this year, I decided to make it completely from scratch—with juicy, macerated strawberries, fluffy homemade whipped cream, and a simple sourdough drop biscuit made with discard.

It’s light, fresh, and perfect for all your summer gatherings.

I hope you enjoy! ☺️

P.S. If you’ve been loving my sourdough recipes, I’d be so grateful if you pinned a few to your recipe board on ​Pinterest​. It helps more people find them - and start their own sourdough adventures too! 💛

​Sourdough Strawberry Shortcake​

A sweet summer dessert made with juicy strawberries, fresh whipped cream, and buttery sourdough biscuits.

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

  • ​Food Scale - Weighing ingredients ensures your recipes turn out just right every time.
  • ​Hand Mixer - Makes whipping cream a breeze!
  • ​Aluminum Baking Sheets - For evenly baked biscuits with golden, crisp bottoms.
