1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |

Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract until the dough comes together. Add an additional tablespoon of buttermilk if the dough is slightly dry.
3. Drop by 1/4 cups (use a measuring cup) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
5. Cool completely on a wire rack.
6. When ready to serve, slice each shortcake in half and top generously with strawberries and whipped cream.
