Ingredients

For the shortcakes: 

1½ cups unbleached all purpose flour 

¼ cup granulated sugar 

1½ tsp. baking powder 

¼ tsp. salt 

5 tbsp. unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 

¼ cup heavy cream 

½ cup Peanut Butter & Co Mighty Maple

2 tsp. melted unsalted butter 

2 tbsp. turbinado sugar 


For the filling: 

2 pints strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced 

¼ cup sugar 

½ tsp. vanilla extract 

½ lemon, juiced 


For the whipped cream: 

½ cup heavy cream 

2 tsp. Peanut Butter & Co Mighty Maple


Chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Add butter and use a pastry cutter to cut butter into flour until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. 

  3. Stir in the cream and peanut butter, mixing until it comes together into a dough. 

  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough a few times. Use a rolling pin to roll into a 1-inch thick round. Using a 2 ½-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place 1 inch apart on the prepared pan. Press scraps together lightly and repeat to use all the dough. 

  5. Brush the cakes with melted butter and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until slightly golden brown. Cool completely on the pan. 

  6. While the cake bakes, combine strawberry filling ingredients and let sit. 

  7. Whip cream and peanut butter. 

  8. Cut cakes in half and layer with filling and whipped cream topping. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts.
