Strawberry-Halva Shortcakes
Biscuit Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal or 1/4 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 4 ounces sesame halva, broken into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- Sanding sugar (for sprinkling)
Assembly Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled, quartered
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk egg, buttermilk, vanilla and 1/4 cup cream in a small bowl to combine. Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add halva and chocolate, toss to combine. Drizzle in egg mixture and stir with a fork until crumbly but incorporated.
- Turn out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Knead once or twice to bring together, then pat into a 6-inch square. Using a bench scraper or a knife, cut into eight equally sized rectangles and space apart. Brush tops with cream, then sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Bake biscuits until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 20–25 minutes. Do ahead: Biscuits can be formed (but not baked) one month ahead. Freeze on baking sheet until solid, then transfer to freezer bags. Bake from frozen.
- While the biscuits are baking, combine strawberries, lemon juice and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until juicy and glossy, about 10 minutes.
- Whisk cream and remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar in a chilled large bowl to medium-stiff peaks.
- To serve, split biscuits and spoon some whipped cream and berries over bottoms. Top with remaining biscuit halves and spoon remaining whipped cream and berries over.
