Ingredients
For the strawberries:
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled (green part trimmed off), berries cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, plus a little more, packed
For the biscuits:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup chilled heavy cream, whisked to soft peak
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Directions
In a bowl, toss the strawberries with the 2 tablespoons vinegar and brown sugar, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Biscuits: In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, salt, white pepper, sugar, and baking powder. Mix in the whipped cream until the mixture is moistened and just forms a ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly just to bring the dough together.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough 1-inch thick. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter into biscuits. Arrange on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
When ready to serve, split the biscuits in half horizontally. Place the bottoms on serving plates. On each, place a spoonful of strawberries with the syrup that has collected in the bowl, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkling of brown sugar. Place the top halves of the biscuits on top. Serve immediately.

Only made the shortcakes. My family loves them and this is the best shortcake recipe I have tried. Didn't use the white pepper though. These are the perfect texture for shortcakes and very easy to make. I do not use a stand mixer for mixing the shortcake dough. Instead I simply mix it with a fork or wood spoon. The one time I used a stand mixer they came out tough.

Christmas Holidays 2009...I am reviewing the internet for dessert recipes. This strawberry one appears, I read it and see that no one else has evaluated nor (probably made/eaten this item.
I have been fortunate to eat sweets made by Gale Gand in restaurants, hotels and her own store while visiting the east coast.
If this "eval" helps anyone...try the recipe's suggestion...spices with sweet...pepper with fruit (strawberries. My grandma made something similar and my mouth liked it, especially the memories attached.
Enjoy!
