Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups / 225g (7.9 oz) fresh strawberries
  • ¾ cup (84 g / 2.96 oz) finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g / 0.14 oz) baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup (67 g / 2.36 oz) granular erythritol
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g / 0.99 oz) salted butter, melted but not hot
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups / 360ml (12.2 fl oz) Whipped Cream, for serving
  • For the fluffiest texture, ensure your egg and heavy cream are at room temperature before mixing.
  • To enhance the strawberry flavor, macerate the sliced berries by tossing them with a tablespoon of powdered erythritol and letting them sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out their natural juices.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Gently hull and slice the fresh strawberries.
  3. Set them aside while you prepare the shortcake batter.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures the leavening is evenly distributed.
  5. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg until frothy.
  6. Stir in the granular erythritol, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the dry into the wet , stirring continuously until a smooth, well-blended batter forms.
  7. Drop 6 even spoonfuls of the batter onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
  8. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the shortcakes cool completely on the baking sheet.
  10. To assemble, split a cooled shortcake and top generously with whipped cream and the prepared sliced strawberries. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  11. Do not overmix the batter once you add the dry .
  12. Stir just until combined to keep the shortcakes tender.
