Mix in the heavy cream, stirring just until the dough begins to come together.
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
Use your hands to form dough into a ball. Press dough against the sides to incorporate any remaining flour.
Lightly knead the dough two to three times, just to further mix the ingredients together.
Place on a very lightly floured surface and pat out into a circle. Keep dough approximately one inch high.
Use a three inch biscuit cutter and cut out biscuits. Place on a baking tray covered with a silicone baking liner or on a lightly greased baking tray.
Rework any scraps together to make additional shortcakes.
Brush the surfaces of shortcakes lightly with additional heavy cream.
Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.
Cool on a baking rack.
Assembling the Shortcakes
Use a fork to split the shortcakes.
Place the bottom half of a shortcake on a plate. Place a dollop of whipped cream, a spoonful of strawberries and then the top of the shortcake. Add another dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with a sliced strawberry and chocolate shavings.
