Print Recipe

A quick and simple strawberry shortcake made with just three ingredients, delivering a light, airy texture and fresh strawberry flavor. Perfect for last-minute treats or casual indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred, can substitute with dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 cup (about 150g) fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. Rinse and slice about 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries. Optionally toss with 1 teaspoon sugar and let sit while preparing batter. (5 minutes)
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (120g) self-rising flour with 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt. Stir gently with a whisk or fork until just combined. Batter should be thick but spreadable. (3 minutes)
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter or spray of oil to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)
  4. Spoon batter into skillet, shaping into a 6-inch (15cm) round. Lower heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-6 minutes until edges set and bottom is golden brown with bubbles on surface. (6 minutes)
  5. Flip carefully using a spatula. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until second side is golden and cake feels springy. Reduce heat if browning too fast. (5 minutes)
  6. Slide shortcake onto plate. Top generously with sliced strawberries and any juice. Optionally add whipped cream or honey. (2 minutes)

Notes

If batter is too thick or dry, add a splash of milk to loosen. If too runny, add a pinch more flour. Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning. Overmixing batter can make shortcake tough. Use self-rising flour for best results or make your own by adding baking powder and salt to all-purpose flour. Strawberries can be macerated with sugar for extra juiciness. Can be made vegan by substituting coconut yogurt and plant-based self-rising flour.
