INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place strawberries in a bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand to release juices, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Use a fork or two knives to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together egg and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cream. Slowly add this mixture to dry ingredients; mix with a fork until dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; pat into a 6-inch square. Cut four 21/2-inch rounds; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Whisk together egg yolk and remaining tablespoon cream; brush over tops of biscuits. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly on wire racks, about 15 minutes. Slice shortcakes open while warm. Divide strawberries and their juice among bottom halves of shortcakes; top with large dollops of Vanilla Whipped Cream and upper halves of shortcakes. Serves 4.

A Message from our Provider:
“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”
