Equipment

  • Stand Mixer - Essential for efficiently mixing the dough and other ingredients.

  • Measuring Cups & Spoons - Accurate measurements are crucial in baking for consistent results.

  • Heavy-Duty Cutting Board - Useful for preparing fruits or any additional toppings.

  • Mixing Bowls (Multiple Sizes) - Required for various stages of mixing and assembly.

  • Pastry Blender - For making the shortcakes' dough, especially if butter is used in large chunks.

  • Whisk - Useful for incorporating dry ingredients into wet ones smoothly or for whipping cream.

  • Baking Sheet(s) - Needed to bake the shortcakes evenly in the oven.
