        Ingredients

        • 1 quart fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
        • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
        • 2 cups all-purpose flour
        • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
        • 1 tablespoon baking powder
        • 1/2 teaspoon salt
        • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
        • 2/3 cup milk
        • 1 cup heavy cream
        • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
        • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

        Instructions

        • Prepare the Strawberries: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the strawberries, then set aside to macerate while you prepare the shortcakes.
        • Make the Shortcakes: Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough just comes together.
        • Shape and Bake the Shortcakes: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out individual shortcakes. Place the shortcakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
        • Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to whip the cream until soft peaks form.
        • Assemble the Shortcakes: Once the shortcakes have cooled slightly, split them in half horizontally. Spoon a generous portion of macerated strawberries onto the bottom half of each shortcake. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, then place the other half of the shortcake on top.
        • Serve and Enjoy: Garnish the assembled shortcakes with additional whipped cream and fresh strawberries, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious taste of spring!

        Notes

        Moon Milk Lavender and CherriesMoon milk is believed to have magical properties that promote relaxation, sleep, and spiritual connection. Lavender is a powerful herb that is often used in spells and rituals to promote tranquility, purification, and harmony. It is said to help calm the mind, soothe anxiety, and facilitate communication with the spiritual realm. Cherries, on the other hand, are associated with abundance, prosperity, and love. By combining these two ingredients in moon milk, we can create a potent brew that promotes restful sleep, deep relaxation, and a profound sense of spiritual connection.
        As you sip on your moon milk and gaze up at the moon, take a moment to reflect on the magic and mystery of the universe. Whether you are working with the moon to manifest your desires, to connect with your intuition, or simply to enjoy a peaceful moment of reflection, remember that the power of the moon is always with you, waiting to be harnessed and celebrated.
