Strawberry shortcake is a pastry made with a crust and generous amounts of juicy strawberries and whipped cream. This treat always delights with its summery flavor, aroma, and vibrant appearance. If you're planning a buffet party or a dessert table with a variety of desserts, miniature shortcakes are a perfect choice for easy eating without cutlery. Bake tiny cookies for the base using a very simple recipe and spread the strawberry filling on top. For a more vibrant flavor and a more stable filling, mix fresh strawberry pieces with strawberry jam. Top the shortcakes with whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 200°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to a floured work surface. Form it into a 1 cm thick disk.

Using a round cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as possible. Carefully gather the scraps together and repeat the process. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2.5 cm apart. Brush with cream and sprinkle with a little sugar.
Bake 1 baking sheet of cookies in the center of the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes; repeat with the second baking sheet. While the cookies are still warm, use the round side of a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon to make an indentation in the top of each cookie. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine the strawberries and jam and fill each cookie cavity with a little of the strawberry mixture. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf. Shortcakes can be made 2 hours before serving and stored in the refrigerator..
