Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Cut in 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk and stir gently until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat to 1-inch thickness, and cut into 6 rounds. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: While shortcakes bake, melt 6 oz chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler until smooth. Dip halved 1 pint fresh strawberries halfway into the chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.
Step 4: Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp rose water in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
Step 5: To assemble, slice shortcakes in half horizontally, layer with rose whipped cream and chocolate-dipped strawberries, then top with the shortcake lid.
