Welcome to Free Daily Recipes. I’m Megan, and today I’m sharing a sweet Strawberries and Cream Skillet Shortcake.

You will need fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered, three tablespoons granulated sugar, a splash of balsamic vinegar, all purpose flour for the shortcake, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and half a teaspoon vanilla extract.

First, toss your quartered strawberries with three tablespoons granulated sugar and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, then let them sit at room temperature for thirty minutes, giving them a gentle stir halfway through so the flavors meld.

While the berries are macerating, whip the heavy cream together with powdered sugar and half a teaspoon of vanilla until you reach soft peaks, keeping the mixture light and airy for topping later.

Next, slice the baked shortcake into eight even wedges, place each wedge on a serving plate, spoon the macerated berries and any released syrup over the top, and finish with a generous dollop of your whipped cream.

Finally, if you have leftovers, cool them promptly, seal them in a container, and refrigerate. When you’re ready to serve again, reheat gently so the sauce and crumb stay tender.
