Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking powder, baking soda, and granulated sugar.
- Grate the frozen unsalted butter into the dry mixture and toss until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and sourdough discard, then pour into the dry ingredients and fold until clumps form.
- On a floured surface, pat the dough into a rectangle about ¾-inch thick and perform three or four folds, then pat it down again.
- Cut the dough into rounds or squares and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between.
- Chill the shortcakes for at least 30 minutes.
- After chilling, brush the tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with raw sugar before baking for about 20 minutes.
- While baking, combine sliced strawberries with sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; let sit for 30 minutes.
- Whip heavy cream with sugar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Once baked, split the biscuits, layer with strawberries and whipped cream, then top with the other half.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes
Keep ingredients cold for flakier biscuits, and serve shortcakes shortly after assembling to maintain texture.
