    Let's learn how to make Strawberry Shortcake from scratch with Step by Step photos.

    Step 1: Coat Strawberries in Sugar

    Coat Strawberries in Granulated Sugar and then refrigerate this for some time. What I do is coat them in Sugar and refrigerate this until I am making the shortcake.

    Step 2: Whisk dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl combine Flour, Granulated Sugar, Salt, and Baking Powder. Use a wire whisk to combine.

    Step 3: Add in Cubed Butter

    Cut your butter into small cubes. Make sure the Butter is cold. Add the Cubed Butter to your dry ingredient mixture. Use a pastry cutter to cut the Butter into the flour. (If you're using Unsalted Butter, then skip the Salt in the dry ingredients)

    Step 4: Pour Buttermilk

    Pour buttermilk into the flour mixture and fold it in using a Rubber Spatula. DO NOT OVERMIX. You should have a crumbly dough with few wet spots.

    Step 5: Roll

    Place this on a floured surface and flour your hands generously. Keep the dough on the surface and spread it using your hands. Make sure the dough has a thickness of about 1-inch.
