Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold unsalted butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.
3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough.
4
Place the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with a little bit of egg wash. Bake the pastry for 20-25 minutes, or until it's golden brown.
5
While the pastry is baking, prepare the whipped cream by beating the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar together until stiff peaks form.
6
To assemble the shortcake, split the pastry in half horizontally and spoon some of the whipped cream over the bottom half. Top with a few slices of fresh strawberries and then place the top half of the pastry on top.
